Hey, wasn't I just talking about songs with lyrics I don't understand? My lovely friend Bella sent this adorable French electropop artist my way and implored me to check her out. And holy wow, I can't stop listening (or looking, for that matter!). Her name is Yelle and she's becoming a pretty big deal in France already. I'm not sure she has any cross-over plans in the near future, but I'm going to help her start her US takeover campaign right now by posting a video for her song "Ce Jeu."

She is apparently quite witty with her words, so if any of your high school or college French comes back as you're listening and you want to translate, please do so in the comments! As for me, this is one time when I can just smile and enjoy this tune's infectiousness. To check out the video, read more.

    Awesome! I really enjoyed this song, and the fashion in the video is sweet.

    Perez Hilton has been posting about her for awhile...the music sounds okay, but I still don't see why she is so great.

    OK, so it goes a little like this :

    (chorus)
    Crazy and so obvious
    I can't find a meaning anymore
    To this exciting game
    You enjoy manipulating me
    I like to do the same
    We're both victims
    Of this sweet lovers game

    I'll make an effort, i know you by heart,
    I just have to ignore you
    To make you come back to me crying
    Then I care about you,
    You just get out, that's it
    It's always the same
    I can each and everytime

    Maybe i'll do the rest later, got to go to work Sticking out tongue Sorry if i mispelled anything ! It's a very nice song, and not as vulgar as some of her other work Smiling

    In France, her public is almost teenager... She made a funny (but so damn stupid song!!) with a "suppose to be funny guy". Eye-wink

    I don't have anything against this girl but concerning her music and lyrics: Barf! (I guess it's because I'm too old or because I totally understand her lyrics! )

    this song is definitely my least favorite from the album, but i've been loving her since i first heard "a cause des garcons." i read a review that compared her lyrically to peaches, but from other comments i'm not certain she lives up to it (if only i'd paid more attention in french). whatever she is saying, the music is fun, poppy, and awfully catchy, and she is absolutely adorable with a side of sassy.

    Maybe a little to much electro for me, but it's still cute. Smiling

    Dollylo, I feel with you. Smiling The only German music that ever makes it big abroad seems to be the music I don't like, like Rammstein and now Tokio Hotel (seriously, what IS it with them?).
    Why can't it be a band like Wir sind Helden or Madsen for once? Oh well, speaking of Wir sind Helden, have any of you ever seen any of those "(Behind) Closed Doors" videos on YouTube? I love those! Brilliant idea! Smiling
    Here's the one they did with Wir sind Helden (I'm sorry, I'm in a WsH phase right now and have to get on everybody's nerves with links and stuff Eye-wink):
