WHY ARE FRENCH SONGS SO GOOD? | The Linguistic Nuances of French Language Music
Hi hello I'm back! I absolutely love French music and I've started noticing some patterns that I think make French songs objectively good. In this video, I go absolute language nerd and discuss the linguistic nuances in French language music. The artists I listen to primarily are Stromae, Angèle, Therapie TAXI, Suzane, and L.E.J, so these nuances may more strongly cater to their music.

I’ve always liked hearing music from languages with an insane amount of syllables, like Russian or polish etc

Really eye opening video! I love stromae
I just started learning French and I was so shocked at how much I like French music specifically French Pop, and I don’t even understand anything! But it sounds so airy and light like a lullaby.. maybe it’s the style of singing from the artist or the just French language? 🤣But I’m so motivated to continue learning!!
Love this!! I’ve been listening to Jacques’ new album recently and was thinking some of the same stuff
