Slow European Songs?
 

One day, Ratatouille was on the Disney Channel, and I fell in love with Le Festin (the theme sung in French), which happens to be sung by Camille, a real French artist.

Now I know Emilie Simon and stuff, but I'm looking for more relaxing/slow/dreamy music like Le Festin! I also decided I'd include all of Europe, because I'm sure everyone has something to offer for this. :)

I think I'd like to try Italian if anyone has Italian music. :D

I'm into French though, first and foremost. :)

Any suggestions?

This is the only French song I know. I just love the video.

Sorry to say that I don't know many french singers. All I listen to is Yelle and Jacques Brel, and those definitely fall into the slow and sweet category. But I did a little Spotify search and found similair artists.

Olivia Ruiz is a folk-punk artist, but you still might like her. She's french too.
Helena Noguerra you might like too. Her music is very basic, and sweet.
Caroline Wallin Pérez is a swedish artist, who covers songs from Kent. Look into her too, definitely.

Maria Mena is from Norway, but sings in english.

Just try the songs:

Just Hold Me
Sorry
Miss Your Love
All This Time
I'm in Love
This Bottle of Whine
Where Were You

I love Maria Mena! That's a really good idea

Off-topic: I wish she'd release a new album soon.

^ offtopic too.
So I do T_T

Daniel Darc - La Pluie Qui Tombe

SOS D'Un tetrrien detresse by Gregory Lemarchal is the most beautiful song I've ever heard and it's a very slow, French song. :) It's gotta be his version though!

this isnt really slow.. but i loooove this song by Ilse de Lange!!

oh and its english :yes



blof is also pretty good :yes

How about~

Shy'm - J'entend encore les mots
This is a French song, very slow and light dreamy ♥ I absolutely looove this song, it's one of my favorites from her! :D

Laura Pausini - Bellissimo Cosi
This is an Italian song, one of my favorite songs ever~ It's a bit more soft rock-ish and not as dreamy, but I really like listening to it in the car. It goes good with driving ^^ There's also a Spanish version, too!

hearted OMG, Ilse deLange!!! I luv her.

Caro Emerald - Back it Up

Thanks everyone, keep them coming!

I'm really open to any language, and I actually want any kind of songs now (e.g. pop, techno, etc).

I'll take a look at these when I go home, I'm at work right now. :P

Oh really? Then I've got a lot more. I'm going to be a bit of a nationalist here, but I know most danish music anyway.

Quadron
Annika Aakjær
Nephew
Mew
Télépopmusik
Medina

I would be interested in some European power ballads since we are on the subject of European music in general. Could anyone help me out?

Many thanks.

Picaflor 7/4, GREAT choices <3

ikr? I am in LOVE with these songs.

Try it with Yann Tiersen! I love his music, he's just a genius. I can't link videos now, but try listening "Les bras de mer", "La valse d'Amelie piano ver." and "l'apres midi". I totally love them! ^^ I also like one song from Patricia Kaas "Et s'il fallait le faire".
