I looked for a thread, but there doesn't seem to be any. Anyway, I've known about Chanson for awhile, but my interest in it didn't really perk until last night. I heard Nico singing in french on a Serge Gainsbourg compilation and was blown away how beautiful it was.

Does anyone know of any good, really deep and moving songs/artists in this genre? I would be forever grateful if someone can make a compilation featuring their favorite songs and artists.

French Chanson, to me sounds very sensual and intimate, and I'm able to just drift away on the soft spoken words, like a balloon rising into the atmosphere.
