For The Past 10 Years, So Frenchy So Chic Has Gone On An Annual Treasure Hunt. The Result? A Spirited Mix Of The Freshest, Brightest French Songs Of The Moment.
This perennially popular annual compilation had Australia listening to Camille before she became a radio darling, Fade Out Line before The Avener's remix topped charts across Europe, Yael Naim's New Soul before it became the soundtrack to Apple's MacBook Air, and to Lilly Wood and the Prick ahead of Prayer C becoming an international hit.
Dancing, hanging out with friends, enjoying sunny afternoons in the garden with a glass of Champagne in hand; So Frenchy has been a soundtrack of musical joie de vivre. And now, to celebrate a decade of friendship, its curators have carefully culled its whopping 360-song playlist down to the very best of the best.
A listen through its 40 tracks reveals there is no one genre called “French music.” It's really a kind of cultural crossroads where many styles, sounds, influences and grooves come together, from traditional pop, blues, electronica and rock to today's interpretation of chanson. What all the So Frenchy songs do share is that certain je ne sais quoi that resonates with listeners.
