Between the launch of Lilith Fair and the trickle-down effect of riot grrrl culture, the mid-'90s were a watershed era for bold, brazen female pop artists. France d'Amour was Quebec's answer to Meredith Brooks and Sheryl Crow: a self-possessed singer/songwriter who mixed formidable guitar chops and a radio-friendly sensibility with a feisty attitude and a soupçon of vocal grit. She followed up her sweetly spiky 1992 debut, Animal, with two decades of breezy French-language singles, tunes with refrains so catchy they'll echo in your mind for days, regardless of your native tongue.
