A YT channel i subscribe to posted a bunch of French songs to encourage you to learn more. I really enjoyed the tracks. Started exploring more. It is helping my French, but i still have a long way to go.

That is cool I listen to french songs sometimes in background but have not used them for intensive study. I think those song which repeat words/phrases alot help me remember the word/phrases.

I like this artist, Stromae

I listen to this playlist of various artists sometime.

One of the first song I heard that got me interested in the language. Jacques Brel - Amsterdam another one of his song. Jacques Brel - Ne me quitte pas

For variety, you can try opera as well. They drag out each word which I find interesting. Example Habanera de "Carmen": "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle"

I did have Ne quitte pas on my playlist, but it really dragged down the vibe. I have been loving Soldat Louis, Louis Attaque, dionysos, and GIMS. I will definitely check out your playlist

Yea ne quitte pas is sad. That playlist was just something I found online, I think it is created by an online school. It is mostly happy songs, and fairly clear in their singing.

I saw GIMS in that playlist.

Songs are awesome! It's so much easier to remember new words when they are a part of a nice song.

Agreed, they're pretty great!

I've enjoyed taking a few songs and learning them word by word, going along with lyrics synced to the video. Really helps strongly enforce a little bit of vocab.

I do this too! Although I try to take easy songs for now to not get overwhelmed :)
