Rêver mieux

8/10. hon hon hon, c'est francais. Didn't make that big of an impression on me for my first listen, but it was very pleasant, and it looks like it was submitted by the French (Quebecois, perhaps?) user whose reviews I always see and who seems to like a lot of the same music I do, so I should probably give it another listen, perhaps on a walk on a rainy day?

Mon Album, donc c'est un 5 c'est certain.

I can't understand a word of what this guy is saying! Seriously though, this is really nice. Mellow but intricate and interesting. 4 stars.

I wanted to be upset because France but I didn’t mind having this on

The hitherto unknown world of platinum selling Canadian francophone pop? A little on the easy listening side though maybe if I could understand the lyrics I'd find out it's hard AF. I liked it pretty well overall.

This album will be good for a dinner party where you want something in the background with not much happening. Unfortunately, it’s a little bit to poppy and bland for me.

Maybe not the best singer, but the songs are nice and there are some beautiful arangements

D9n even know 4

What if French music was gentle?

The impression of end-of-century electronic music is reasonably broad; The pop connective tissue blunts any edge. Contrary to much deep production, the music puts you in a tape or film space, not any kind of sphere.

Was this added by a French user? If so, probably more understandable, if not, why is this being added?

This was surprisingly fresh and melodic. Something I'd never heard before and an artist I'm not familiar with at all. Will listen to this more often - thanks for the suggestion!

Dit klonk wel prettig en interessant. En met vlagen best goed.

Nice sound. Could have been on the list easily

Vous savez, il devrait vraiment y avoir plus d’artistes francophones représentés sur la liste.

Cruisy, inoffensive, backpacker hostel lobby muzak. 3/5.

In one ear and out the other. I nearly forgot to even rate it. But I didn't HATE it, it was just a lot of nothing to me.

It didn't really catch my attention. Nice arrangements and voice, but the result seemed a bit bland to me

Not for me

This LP commits the cardinal sin of media in that it's boring, through and through. I don't care if the gentle, lulling guitar is well done, or that the touch of synths adds a dimension to the instrumentation – this is a flat, one-dimensional hour of a French man gently talking over what amounts to default iMovie backing tracks. I can understand why someone would enjoy this, but I can't do so myself.

This was beautiful! I was hoping to hear more music that wasn't from the US or UK, so thank you for submitting this one!

Merci à celui qui l'a soumis. I am sure I am missing a lot because I don't speak French. This music though is quite nice. I really enjoy the album - there are a couple of especially nice songs. "Dis tout sans rien dire" I absolutely love. It translates to "Say everything without saying anything." Standouts: Te quitter, Dis tout sans rien dire, Dans un spoutnik, 4/5

Vaguely interesting french language folk pop mixed with trip hop.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Dans un spoutnik

Overall a very pleasant listen, but a bit slow moving. I was ready for it to be done well before it was over, but I enjoyed it. Fave Songs: Fugue en sol inconnu, Dis tout sans rien dire, Fous n'importe où, Te quitter, Dans un spoutnik, Chante encore

On dirait Bondé Maison francais. C'est bien! Rating: 3.5 Playlist track: Rêver mieux Date listened: 01/08/24

French Rufus Wainwright?

Nice!

It was nice. Felt like a more modern twist on old chanson stuff. Not an all timer, but very pleasant. Wish I could understand more of the lyrics to hear of it has the wit of a Brel or a Gainsbourg.

Eww French

I’m not really sure how to judge this album. It washed over me for the most part and was fairly forgettable. There were some moments that I found very beautiful but overall it blended together.
