I have been kind of down this road before and ended up
listening to Manu Chao although this is a slightly more specific request.
I'm after music with French singing. Probably not old chanson type stuff or Edith Piaf or Johnny Hallyday TBH.
I can reach back into my adolescence for French rock band Trust and a bit of reggae star Alpha Blondie ( who alternates English and French songs)but that's about as far as I get.
So, old man stuff - blues, heavy rock, ska, reggae, country - sung in French.
Suggestions please
Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

That's kind of new wave , works for me cheers
That's such a great song, who doesn't love that
Oh, that's just so bizarre, crying with laughter ( although as it's basically a song about being raped by a gorilla perhaps I shouldn't). Subtitles a massive bonus there

That's kind of ambient and pleasant and guitary, maybe some French cool sophistication.
I've been a bit meh about this song, works better all in French IMHO, lovely clear pronunciation which is very helpful for me ( my French pronunciation is terrible).
I only know Cornershop through Brimfull (original and remix) which I love, don't know why I've never explored their stuff further - although this may be something of an acquired taste I'll admit
or Superflu
Or MC Solaar
Or or the Glorious Daniel Balavoine (listen to this voice)
Or Leonard
