Yelle

Yelle is a French band co-founded and also named after singer Julie Budet. In 2005 Yelle posted and early version of the song Je Veux Te Voir (at that time the song was called Short Dick Cuizi) on MySpace. The song caught attention partly because of its controversial lyrics dissing French rap star Cuizinier of the band TTC. According to Yelle, though, it’s “not a diss track, but a funny track with lots of references”.

In March this year Yelle released their second album Safari Disco Club, and I still can’t get enough of the title track. On Spotify you can find the entire album, including a remix on Mon Pays by Swedish electro band Lo-Fi-Fnk. (For those who do not understand French, there are no subtitles and the song starts at 1:55.)
