As the always adorable French ingenue Yelle prepares for her new album Safari Disco Club (March 29th; V2/Cooperative Music USA/Downtown Records), she drops a mini-film made up of two of her upcoming songs, the title track “Safari Disco Club” and “Que veux-tu”. Besides her producers Grand Marnier (Jean-Francois Perrier) and Tepr (Tanguy Destable) in the videos, Yelle (Julie Budet) is also joined by Fanny Pak in her dancing mayhem. Directed by Jérémie Saindon, the videos do a bit to capture the live energy of Yelle, who positively kills it on stage. Since their acclaimed debut album, Pop-Up, Yelle’s kept busy covering Robyn’s “Who’s That Girl” (and then Robyn covered their track “A Cause Des Garçons” in return), and remixing Katy Perry’s “Hot n Cold”, which led to them supporting her upcoming UK tour in April.
Yelle will be on tour in the US from Coachella onward — peep the full tour dates after the Jump…
