Here are the best of the French singles for February from the Francophonie Diffusion Network. Music from France and French-speaking countries. Styles range from a swing Pink Floyd cover to Afro pop. Since these are hand-picked I can recommend any track.

1. Dishy low-key pop w/a catchy head-nodding beat & sexy male vox.
2. Ultra hip upbeat Bollywood meets dancefloor electronica mix.
3. Relaxed guitar backs sweet Afro-pop-blues vocals. Gorgeous.
4. Lush downtempo orchestration backs spoken word essay. Cool.
5. Quirky upbeat pop/rock w/a fun sound, cool vox, catchy hook.
6. Downtempo male vox w/cinematic pop infused with jazz.
7. Dark, down w/spare vocals. A gritty sound w/orchestral wash.
8. Swinging lounge version of Pink Floyd classic. Very cool.
9. Down, cool male vox. A hint of jazz & warm, playful pop.
10. Starts slow, picks up w/soaring vox & disco electrics.
