Comment:

Remember, for all its old-world charm, France is about as cosmopolitan as it gets — the contemporary French pop scene [i]overflows[/i] with urgent, urban sounds. Rapper Abd al Malik unleashes a movie for the ears over a single maniacally repeated piano riff before "Gibraltar" finally explodes into a jazzy fever dream. Amel Bent's sultry, hip-swiveling "Ma Philosophie" proves English-speaking countries don't have a monopoly on R&B sirens busting out of [i]Idol[/i]-style TV competitions. And France's favorite controversy-courting hip-hop anti-hero, Doc Gyneco, slows his roll long enough to rhyme over a honey-dripping quiet storm of sweet 'n' low soul on "Nos Larmes."
