I discovered
Yelle a couple months ago when the lineup for Coachella was released. I immediately got to torrenting all the albums of all the artists I had never heard of and began my preparation.
Yelle caught my attention because:
- She is French
- She sings in french
- It's synthpop dance music
The music is cute, fun, and likeable. I liked a couple of songs, even though you don't understand a word she's saying, and you can't tell anyone the names of the songs (or at least I can't). After the day-by-day lineup for Coachella was released, I saw that she had a slot right after M.I.A. and before Prince, so she was added to the itinerary. Didn't know what to expect, but there wasn't any other artist I wanted to see during her time slot and I knew a couple songs, so sure.
I LOVE YELLE.
Her show was probably the most fun show I saw there. (Well, maybe besides Hot Chip but their performance was so damn packed that I couldn't see the stage anyways. ) She had SO much energy and so is
SO DAMN CUTE. Cute like when she was dancing around, I wanted to pat her on her little bowl-cut shaped head and saw "
awww." Look at her marching around up there. How adorable!
The entire Mojave tent was jumping around and dancing with her. Even after being in 100+ degree heat for 10 hours and being sober, it was a pretty fun time.
Here are 2 of her more popular songs on Zshare:
