You still have a few days to send (guuzbourg(a)gmail.com) your Top 5 French Female Album List of 2008. A lot of you counted Ariane Moffatt's Tous les sens as one of their faves. An album I kind of forget - maybe because I still have to get used to her new electropopways. I rather hear sweet Ariane in a more gentle, fluffy environment. Like in this duet with fellow Quebec-native Monsieur Mono. It was taken from his second album, released earlier this year, and the slow, brooding mood suits both voices really well.
Because of all the great Canadian/Quebecoise music I got to know this year, from Coeur de Pirate to Amylie, I will post the best music from female French Canadian artists in January - Oh Canada-month. Tips and guestposts are, as always, welcomed.
Monsieur Mono & Ariane Moffatt - Comme en temps de guerre
Hello Goodbye (Beatles), interpreté par les Intrigantes, est génial.

Solo career: Pascale Picard (although she mostly sings in English), Mara Tremblay, Ève Cournoyer, Marie-Jo Thério, Jorane, Marie-Annick Lépine (she plays the violon in Les Cowboys Fringants).
