Can anyone reccomend any French/Russian Singers?
 

Oooor maybe just songs in French/Russian you think are just really awsome.....I feel I learn accents quickly I i learn how to sing in a language...and...I just love the Russian language anyway..it's so beautiful...

Two awesome russian singers that I learned about through my Russian class:

Anastacia stotskaya - favorite song is "veny reki"

Dimiti Patrov - favorite song "Tai"

if you want, I can send these to you. :D

wow!! :) ookay! :D That sounds great

I was gonna post a similar question but just about French singers. I'm about to start taking French in college and music usually helps me with whatever I'm doing ((i.e., Japanese XD ))

well i'm learning French, and i found some great albums in my French Tranning Center...
heres the list of the albums i'm listening lately.

Calogero - Calo3ero

Janatan Cerrada - La Preuve Du Contraire

KYO - Le Chemin (recommend! they're awesome!)/ 300 Lésions

Laurent Voulzy - Avril (the album was okay. but i love the track "Je Suis Venu Pour Elle")

nichya is a pretty good russian group. their official website is www.nichya.ru and it has an english version. vitas is also a good russian singer. his website is www.vitas.com.ru and it also has an english version ^^

Zemfira is good, someone on tatysite.net got me hooked on her =x

I definately reccomend Nichya, 'Navsegda' is a fantastic song. You can get the music video at their official site. I also reccomend the english version song 'The Pain That You Choose' although I can't remember it's russian title.

Virus are also a good Russian group, very Techno though, so I guess to like it you'll have to appreciate Techno. lol.

Dusha has a nice voice, and her songs are pretty cool so look out for her aswell.

Finally, back on the Techno, Angelika is another good artist!

i'm looking into all this now :D thanks guys! :) anymore would be really awsome as well!

nearly all russian music that is pretty popular is techno-ish *haha*

I was heavy into Russian music for awhile, before I discovered j-pop. Some of my favorites were~ Akula, Katya Nechaeva, Malina, Maxi-M, Nichya, Propaganda, Ruki Vverkh, Russkiy Razmer, Smash!!, Yulia Nachalova and Yulia Savicheva.

The Russian version was called 'Nichya,' too, like the band. =b And the english version was 'Pain To Choose.' That song is all about the sexy moaning. o_o

i listened to some song O_o; with freaky scarring moaning in it [in the middle of t3h song]...was that is?

yesyesyes. The video is all sexy, too, with a car sex and bridge jumping.

lol i saw it...Xx; i regret it -scarred for life- lol

Anastacia Stotskaya- Veny-Reki:

Dimitri Patrov - Tai:
http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...G3UM67G598GWCZ

haha cool :)! Thanks ^_^ -listens-

Veny-Reki sounds like a powerful song ...she has so much feeling behind it :) it's cool

Veny-Reki is a much more powerful song than Tai, but I love Dimitri's voice, lol.

Have you heard "200 po vstrechnoy?" It is tatu's debut album

Yeah, it was the same for me. I also feel as though the Russian versions of songs that were translated are a lot more emotional, they are full of power. The song "Zachem Ya (why do i?)" is much more powerful when sung in russian than when it was sung as "Stars" in English. Also "Ya Troy Vrag" is an amazing song, makes me somewhat sad they didn't attempt to sing it in english. :eviltongu

Zemfira is a Russian singer. And she's awesome! ^_^

Same with Origa. She sings in Russian and Japanese.

If you'd like me to upload some stuff for you I can do that. :)

Great choice :) I was really into Kyo some years ago, I love their lyrics and the deep meaning of their songs. (I'm a native French speaker btw) I like their 1st album "Le chemin" better than "300 lésions". Now I'm just listening to them occasionally, J-Pop took me away from them and American music :P

i've only heard their Englsih version of it, and i have it :laugh

that would be AWSOME! I love Origa's voice it's so powerful and clear and X_X omg -melt-...Inner Universe is the only song i've heard from 'er tho

I've got three Origa files here for you. From her latest album Era of Queens

Era of Queens

Moment

Teriscore

I was trying to get the entire album...but I'm not sure what happened....it just didn't work......v_v
I'll up some Zemfira stuff later (gotta find the cd first ;) )

In French music, pretty much any work/artist touched by Jean-Jaques Goldman is quality stuff. What's your taste in music, then I can suggest suitable artists.

My favourites are Mylene Farmer (mainstream: profound lyrics and stunning music videos), Robert (vocalist: flute-like, a nearly unknown artist) and Zazie (more pop-rock).

Here are 18 Zemfira tracks for your enjoyment. ^_^

Zero

Paranoya

Do Svidanjia

Iskala

London

Pochemu?

Prosti Menya Moya Lubov

Sneg

Spid

Medley with Rammstein's Du Hast

Dokazano

Gorod

Hochesh

Ne Otpuskai

Nenavizhu

Rassvety

Sigarety

Rumba

Enjoy!

(I just realised that the file name for Do Svidanjia is spelled So Dvidanjia. Oopsie. My Mistake.)

o.o Diva by Origa is awesome... it's from Era of Queens...

Would you happen to have an mp3 of it you could share?
*I'm dying to hear the rest of the album*

Actually, i could just upload the entire album..

:luv2

That would be amazing. :D

many ppl told me 'Le Chemin' was much more better than '300 lésions'... i never heard 'Le Chemin' before, well i try to get that album... but its too expensive here. 'Le Chemin' was like 45 dollars or more..can't really remember it ('300 lésions' cost only 24 dollars.) but i still enjoyed '300 lésions'.

btw, i thought 'Le Chemin' was their 2nd album... right?

Hello! :D
I speak french and i live in Belgium, near France! I can upload some music for you in french!!! it's not the best but if you have msn you can take my address (sorry fo my bad englsih ^^;;;; ) :innocent :innocent :innocent

Mylène Farmer - **** them all :http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0...E2IKFF5RKOXZEF

The title is in english and is very vulgar but the song is in french! It's a new song with chores in english and i love it!!!!! For me Mylène is the best of french singers!

Mylène Farmer - Innamoramento (Momento dance remix) : http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...Y1LVRQ504W986U

Now a remix of one of her best song for me! She've a lot of remixes ans they are soo cool!

Mylène Farmer - California (Megalo mania remix) : http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...V2797LTDXPFMPW

Another remix! One of her best too!

Zazie - Rodéo : http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0...Q2NYD7JWOCYGRO

Another woman who have a lot of sings! The texts are very very cool with a lot of worth's game, it's very fun! And her balad is very sad :'(

Kyo - Sarah : http://s49.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...02X3VKXMSTMVLX

The last song of a french group of rock, it's very sad :'(


Please and good listening (and a million of sorry for my very very bad english !!!!) :D :D :D

what about tatu? aren't they great singers :think

Yes for me 'Le Chemin' is better! The lyrics are more beautifull! If you want I can upload some songs ^^
And yes, 'Le Chemin' is their 2nd album, the first is not very popular but it is very very good too! :D

French.. try Ortal

Thank you so much, AyuFan85! :), Are these all recent singers who still perform? =O

Maybe they assumed I already heard of them ^______^;

Yes it's very recent! Less than one year! I hope that you love :D

I don't consider them as great singers. Especially Yulia's vocals can get really annoying. But they do have some nice songs, for example Stars is an AWESOME song. It's sung in English and Russian. It's very sad song with English chorus and Russian... rap? For some reason I like the Russian versions of t.A.T.u's songs. Oh, oh and there's an album they did with Rammstein (weird, but yeah ^^;;) called Pruzhinki I think. It has some awesome songs too.

Axelle Red - Je me Fache
http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...41A2MQOIAEO7JO
I fell in love with this song instantly. She's indeed very angry. It has many electronic sounds but they're just arranged in a unique beautiful way. And you can hear violins from back. It has great music video too. Too bad I don't have it.

Indochine - Le Grand Secret
http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...40GJANRSO1TD71
This is a slow but very beautiful song. I don't know how to describe it. It has a mysterious but soothing melody but it's still a rock song. Highly recommended.

Gregory Lemarchal - Ecris L'histoire
http://s46.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1...81B3TJGHVIS3MM
This is the closest thing to a pop/rock song out of these three. It has a haunting melody. The MV of this song could have been much better but I can't criticise it much because you get to see a lot of Gregory <333 He's so damn good looking :luv2 He sorta has an Asian look, don't you think?

That's all from me guys. Thank you all for posting these wonderful mp3s. A question for people who listen other countries music, how did you found out about these artists? I found out about these from watching MCM. If you know a site or a forum(preferebly in English) that has world music, please give me the link.

I reccomend Coralie Clément, I don't know much about her but she sings in French. Her songs are great, lots of Bossa Nova!
There's Alizée too, she's simply pop and has a very famous song called "Moi Lolita" and I love it lol she's nice too ^^

what else? TATU of course ^.^

I definitely recommend the French Mylene Farmer. I love the song 'L'amour naissant'. Her music is very mystic!

YES!!!! She's the best !!!!! :luv2 :luv2 :luv2

Yep, the 1st was released on an indie label isn't it? I consider Le Chemin as their 1st album since it's on a major label though it is their 2nd. Oh and Mylène Farmer is great, I consider her as the French Ayu, since she has a unique style and very deep lyrics.

Yes :D Her lives are very very spectacular, she have a lot of remixes and she have her very particular univer! The lyrics are so beautifull and so sad :( And the music is always original and very mystic!!!! I love Mylène :love loooooooool (it's my avatar ^^)

Yeah I was going to say that it's obvious that you're a Mylène fan since she's in your ava :) She dosen't release often... unlike Ayu :D I liked her single "F*uck them all", it aired quite a lot on the radio here.

for french artist, definitely look into Keren Ann. she now has English-sung songs, but her first 2 albums (of 4) are completely in French; and her recent album, Nolita, is in half French and half English -- to get yer 2-fer!

~Recommended!~
