Yelle
Written by oliviawallwork
When thinking about what I could blog about for the French Voice, I remembered that a couple of years ago, when seeing Katy Perry at Hammersmith Apollo, a French band was her support act. After checking my Spotify, I remember they were called Yelle.
Two of the bands members – Julie and Jean-Francois – started making music together in 2000, and after being joined by the third member, Tanguy, the band released its first album in 2007. They’re a sort of crazy electro-pop-dance group with (even though the words may be in French) really catchy lyrics. I can still remember singing along to ‘A Cause de Garcons’ the first time I heard them play it.
They’re a super fun band and have that slightly-mental-foreign-music vibe… I’m so happy I rediscovered them!
