Featured Gallery Music Falling For France: Yelle
With her explicit lyrics, edgy beats, and spunky personality, Yelle might single handedly be responsible for making the US fall in love with France. Julie Budet (Yelle) and her band, consisting of Jean-Francois Perrier (GrandMariner) and Tanguy Destable (Tepr), have been out on the road for a 6-week tour in support of their latest release, Safari Disco Club.
Backstage before the show at Los Angeles’s Music Box, Yelle greeted us with a smile and a look that would have taken the average person a team of stylists to assemble. Dressed in spotted animal print pants and a black scoop neck shirt, sporting a soft pretzel necklace and Eiffel Tower earrings, she pulled up a chair and began expressing her love for America.
In an interview with ChinaShop, Yelle discusses remixing songs for Katy Perry and Robyn, getting used to American culture, and dressing to impress on stage.

Music Mandy’s Music Mail 4/1/11
NKOTBSB?! Mind. Blown. So NKOTB were a bit before my time, well I mean I knew girls who were obsessed with them, but at the time I was more of a Green Day girl (Dookie was one of my first albums, totes had the poster hanging up over my bed and everything; man I was a cool 8 year old…), however I was all about BSB (“I Want It That Way”, “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”?! Oh I could die. Such tunes!) so part of me is totally excited about this collaboration of ex-boyband heartthrobs. And their first single is undeniably catchy. This insanity drops May 24th.

We’re New Here the (insanely awesome) Jamie xx remix album of Gil Scott Heron’s I’m New Here doesn’t come out until the 21st, but the folks over at The Guardian have provided us with a full album stream this week! *Happy panda paws in the air!* I. Love. This. Album. So much.
The visual for Cee-Lo Green’s “Bodies” is not merely a music video but “an animated short motion picture,” which is kind of pretentious but as it’s Cee-Lo (and I love him) he gets a pass. The “animated short motion picture” was directed by Mikael Colombu and features appearances by Kerry Washington, Janelle Monae and Karl Lagerfeld. Bam. It’s an… interesting piece for sure, though the song isn’t my favorite off the album. Check it out below.
