Does anyone know any songs that feature a gorgeous female french or other such accent /language in a song. 

Also in general, regarless of accent, this is an element i think can greatly enhance the appeal of a song that if some guy had sung wouldn't have had much effect -e.g. 'beautiful things' by Adain.

Also, any reccomendations in general for new foreign language music? 

-The rap tracks 'Control Machete' (from the movie Amores Perros) and stuff by Daddy Yankee have a greater edge i reackon than if they had been sung in english.

"Joe le Taxi" by Vanessa Paradis. Well, it's French.

'Do U lie?' by Prince has a good bit too, and the B-side (remember them?) of Eighth Wonder's "I'm not scared" is a song called "J'ai pas peur" . Then, of course, there is always "je taime" by Serge Gainsbourg

stereolab "french disko"

The vocalists for pretty much all of Nouvelle Vague's music are french women. Too many tracks to mention but they perform quite a lot of interesting covers in English as well as stuff in their native tongue.

If you're looking to contrast male/french female vocals their version of Joy Division's 'Love will tear us apart' is certainly v different to Mr Curtis' original!!
