Intro

NouvelleChanson

Also known as 'New Chanson', Nouvelle Chanson is a recently coined buzzword used to define a new style of music emerging in France one which takes clear inspiration from the forefathers of French Chanson (including Jacques Brel Barbara and Charles Aznavour) albeit in an updated style. However the principal influences appear to be the more avant-garde artists. The defining characteristic of Chanson both old and new is that it focuses on the French language as vehicle and instrument.

Relationships
Parents	Pop	Popular music, for lack of a better term. Consists almost entirely of short-to-medium length songs, with heavy use of verse-chorus structures and a strong emphasis on melodicism and catchiness. Has no singular sound - often incorporates the popular sounds of the day (thus pop was synonymous with rock through the 60s, picked up elements of EDM in the late 2000s/early 2010s, and often features trap beats in the late 2010s). UMG's bread and butter.
