Yelle!

Yelle is an amazing French band founded by Julie Budet.  She was born January, 1983 and became prominent when an early version of their song 'Je veux te voir' appeared on MySpace in September 2005.  Later that year, it reached the top 5 songs in France, and in 2007, their debut album, 'Pop Up' was released.

The band includes lead singer Julie, drummer Jan-Francois Perrier, and keyboarder Tanguy Destable.

Their sounds include electronica influences, mild rhythmic cyncopation, heavy use of vocal harmonies, synthetic sonority and minor key tonality.

Listen to her!!!

  17. If you say French and electronica in one sentence I would prefer if it's about Air or Daft Punk :)
