Since you'll b in Paris in December, I'd get some french music.
You can get "Le Jeu De 7 Erreurs" by Élodie Frégé, it's basically a pop/folk album. You can youtube songs like "Si Je Reste (Un Peu)" or "La Ceinture" from that album, I adore them. But try to stay away from her self titled album, cause even she doesn't like it, it's bubblegum pop and songsound similar (with some exceptions)

Other option is buying Julien Doré's single "Moi Lolita", a cover of the Alizée song. Julien transforms the pop song into rougher styles, while mantaining the same lyrics, yeah, a man singing that? sure, it works, lovely stuff.

Emmanuel Moire! His debut album "(Là) Où Je Pars" is the most beautiful pop album released recently. Search on youtube for his songs "Le Sourire", the title track and "Ca Me Fait Du Bien". The cover picture is amzing by the way... if you like green, that is

You can also choose other albums not necessarily in french, like "Irgendwie Held" by Baschi, a swiss singer who sings pop but heavily influenced by rock (you might find him there, who knows?) or Tizian Ferro's "Nessuno È Solo", a pop album with many great songs, he's italian by the way.

By that time, PJ Harvey's "White Chalk" is gonne be already released, this album is so ethereal, so you will like it I suppose, but it's also very dark, so if you can, check youtube for a live version of "The Mountain" which will take your breath away by the end

Those are a few to get you started
