As the title says, I was wondering if lemmings would know what this kind of music is called / genre’d? They differ from their performers normal style considerably, but I like the smooth and and vaguely positive melancholic feel of these songs. I think both of these songs share kind of the same sound.

I’ve been a metal head since my early tweens, for way too many years, so I’m kind of wading to uncharted waters for me.

Any ideas?

    Hey thanks! Synthpop might be the closest genre - I started checking youtube with keywords you provided, and adding french to it; eg. “french synthpop , french synthwave”. Those started giving results that I percieve to be similar to the two examples.

    Maybe its a sound in franchophone world or the language itself that creates the mood. Thank you!
