Yelle

Our favorite French songstress is releasing her debut Pop Up on September 3rd. Hopefully you’re as psyched as we are… and if you’re not then I don’t wanna know you. Here’s a little sampler of Yelle’s Pop Up that should wet your whistle. A few favorites mixed in with some new shit…

Yelle – “Pop Up Teaser” (mp3)

Mewzick has a nice little review and some tracks worth checking out. Head over there and take a listen.

Oh and yeah. Word is Yelle is also releasing “ACDG” plus remixes on Kitsuné in October. That’s pretty damn cool of her.

  • donald Crump

    at first i thought the dancers in that video were really gay. then i just thought they were really awesome.

  • Crumpy Crumper

    mais c'est naze …

    putain dès que c'est français vous avez plus aucun esprit critique.

    peut être parce que vous comprennez pas les paroles.

    pourquoi pas koxie pendant que vous y êtes.

  • Melissa

    i would have to be on like 2 e's or my ears would bleed

    i love yelle and i live the french, but boy do Americans know how to dance better.

  • don Simon

    They dance like gods! Oh, and how can all you americans keep using "gay" as something negative??

  • TAUSIF

    So who else listened to whole CD on myspace….

  • cjbxz

    I simply cannot die until I learn how to dance like that. Or at least have 3 Euro hipster boys tektonik-ing around my room like that ALL DAY.

  • http://bigstereo.net/ Travis

    Tristesse/Joie

  • SeoulJung

    Mmm…

    Oh well….:3!!

  • kmac

    Can someone offer a good translation of Tristesse-Jolie?

    Here's what I've got but i think it's pretty crappy:

    Tu nous guettes tous

    Tu nous cherches tous

    Je ne fais jamais le premier pas

    Même quand mon coeur souffre

    You watch us all

    You want us all

    I never make the first move

    even when my heart suffers

    Je suis heureuse

    Tu es envieuse

    Tu es bien plus forte que moi

    Mais nous sommes nombreux

    I am happy

    you are envious

    you are much stronger than i am

    but we are many (awk? maybe not?)

    C'est ton choix

    On ne sait pas pourquoi

    Et je suppose que quand tu bosses

    Tu n'sais pas pour qui

    Non plus

    it's your choice

    i don't know why

    and i suppose that when you work (context: slave away, like a dog, etc.)

    you don't know for who

    me neither

    Arrête tes salades maintenant s'il te plaît

    Je veux la paix, la vie m'appelle

    Laisse moi transquile, je m'en vais

    Order your salad now please (this is probably wrong – arrete tes salades is probably an idiom?)

    i want peace, the life i call mine (awk)

    leave me alone, i am going.

    CHORUS:

    Tristesse, Joie c'est comme ça

    Accorde nous un instant

    Tu m'emmènes pour un aller simple

    Sadness, Joy, it's like that.

    Gives us a moment (mmm…awk)

    ok this was tricky but basically:

    you take me along for a one-way (i.e. take me down a one-way street i think)

    Je vis, je pleure, bonheur

    Je souffre, malheur

    J'me couche t'à l'heure

    Je n'ai pas le temps d'attendre que tu te déshabilles

    D'autres plaisirs m'attendent

    Je speed si je reste immobile

    Mes souvenirs seront vides comme cette boîte de vitamines

    I live, I cry, luck. (could also be happiness)

    I suffer, badluck (misfortune)

    I have no clue about this line, but i think it's basically "i like (that) you layer the hours"

    (hmmm. more thinking. could also be i like lying with you for an hour)

    i don't have the time to wait until you undress.

    Other pleasures await me

    I (speed is clearly an idiom, not a french word) if I rest in place/remain imobile/am stationary

    My memories are as empty as this box of vitamins (?)

    L'amour me sert de fil conducteur

    Ta bouche me sert de détonateur

    La dead line arrive, je n'ai pas peur

    Attrape-moi si tu peux, je vis à 100 à l'heure

    Literally:

    The love serves me as a line (thread) conducter

    So i think basically (and in context of the next line)

    Loves serves as my guiding thread

    your mouth sets me off

    The deadline arrives, I'm not afraid

    Trick/capture me if you can (able to/have the power), I live (no fucking clue; literally I live at 100 at the hour. maybe at 100 mph?)

    CHORUS

    then:

    Je suis en vie à mort

    La mort jusqu'ici

    Je suis en vie à mort

    La mort jusqu'ici

    Je suis en vie à mort

    La mort jusqu'ici

    Je suis en vie à mort

    La mort jusqu'ici

    I am living at death

    (although: "a la vie a la mort: we are attached from life to death" kind of thing – promise type – could be a play on this)

    the death thus far (?)

    Je suis en viiiiiiiiiiiie

    A mooooooooort

    Je suis en viiiiiiiiiiiie

    A mooooooooort

    Je suis en viiiiiiiiiiiie

    A mooooooooort

    Je suis en viiiiiiiiiiiie

    A mooooooooort

    I am alive at death. etc.
