The French Revolution

I'll be damned if I don't turn this into a music blog.


In today's installment is the up-and-coming pop artist, Yelle. A contemporary of so many teen pop acts, her style is comparable to that of Gwen Stefani or Britney Spears - but with a dash of Briochin zest. Her first full-length album, Pop-Up, has a distinct electronic feel not unlike The Ting Tings. This, coupled with the intoxicating vocals, makes Pop-Up a worthwhile listen and a great excursion into foreign territory.

Pop-Up is available here on Amazon. For those less-inclined to purchase music before hearing it, the better part of the album is available for listening on her Myspace, and the full album can be found with a bit of searching on the internet.

I'll leave two songs - Je Veux Te Voir and A Cause Des Garcons up as Youtube links.

    and maybe it's because of my high disregard for female vocalists (with the exception of Rita Lee!, and some others), but i think i have come across enough music in my day to say that, if you want some realllllllllll gooooooooooood foreign-discoteque-funk-pop, then check this out!...
