Dont Ever Talk to Me or My Son Ever Again.ã¯â»â¿

I've noticed a trend becoming more and more than popular over the terminal few years in French music, songs in a mix of French and English. Some are duets, some are solo artists or groups, near are from France or other Francophone countries similar Belgium and Canada but they are also from a scattering of other countries besides. For some artists information technology'southward a one-off and for others most or all of their music is in this French-English language mix. It'south kind of the perfect mix for an Anglo-French family unit like mine. Hither is my selection of 18 French-English songs y'all should know.

French-English Songs to Heed to

Autonomously from a couple of isolated songs from a while ago (at the end of the list), I recollect I started to exist enlightened of this blending of language with Mika's striking "Staring at the Sun" in 2015. If ever there were a polyglot, it'due south Lebanese-born British vocalist Mika. He speaks English, French, Spanish and Italian fluently and some Mandarin and Arabic thrown in for good measure. Mika is huge in French republic and acts as a autobus and mentor on the French version of The Vocalization. Bizarrely while in Italy recently I happened to film on the television set to see him presenting an excruciatingly awful game show in the nude! (Aye really!)

The next vocal I've chosen has a personal link and a link back to Mika. At only sixteen years old, Louisa Rose was a participant in The Voice, on Squad Mika, while at school with my son, The Teen. Here she sings with French singer Brice Conrad in a Franco-English duet "Hands are Shaking".

Next up, another The Voice participant Franco-Israeli Amir, who as well went on to represent France in the Eurovision Song Competition. I don't like much of his music only I exercise like this one, "J'ai cherché". (As a fairly irrelevant aside, this year another 16 year old kid from The Teen's school was in the semi-finals for Eurovision, information technology seems to be producing some pretty good singers!)

And yet another contestant in the semi-finals for Eurovision, Franco-Australian Malo' with "I believed".

"Chou Wasabi" by Julien Doré ft. Micky Green. And would you know it, Julien Doré is the winner of Nouvelle Star, the French equivalent of The 10 Gene….
