Recommendations for French music
I would like to immerse myself in the French language at home, since I can't travel right now. I haven't even really searched for new music in English since college, so...can you recommend some good French music? These are musicians that I still enjoy, as examples:
Neko Case, Calexico, Belle and Sebastian, The Decemberists, The Divine Comedy, Ben Folds, Tori Amos, Pulp, Radiohead
So...indie? :) If it has some nice piano arrangements or stringed instruments like violin or cello, all the better. Music from any country is fine, as long as most songs are sung in the French language by native French speakers (like Stereolab, it seems like there are quite a lot of albums split between French and English.) Thanks/Merci!

I would recommend listening to STROMAE , Pascal OBISPO, Barbara (older), Charles BAPTIST, Zaho and Benabar. You can easily look them up on YouTube.

I'm not French. But I would like to share with you some French music which I like :)
Barbara (older) as Oliver said too. She is great if you are looking for something which have some nice piano arrangements.
Jacques Brel
Edith Piaff (I'm not sure if you like this)
Patricia Kaas (one of the famous ones in pop). I still like her because I used to listen to her songs when I was child.
Jean Moreau (also actress)
