YELLE – Comme Un Enfant (official music video)
YELLE – Comme Un Enfant (official music video)
French dance-pop purveyors Yelle have recently returned with their long awaited second album, the exotically addictive Safari Disco Club (out now, V2/Cooperative Music). Adding depth and experience to the sweet & sour pop cocktail found on their acclaimed 2007 debut Pop-Up, Yelle find themselves in a more reflective mood and have learned a few new tricks during their time off. The band have been keeping busy – they covered Robyn’s “Who’s That Girl” as part of the iTunes international exchange, and she covered their track “A Cause Des Garçons” in return. They were also were asked by Katy Perry to remix her hit single “Hot n Cold” which has led to them supporting her UK tour in the spring of 2011.
Yelle is fronted and named by Yelle, nee Julie Budet, a sparky gamine with a deceptively demure schoolgirl voice. Joined by producers GrandMarnier (Jean-Francois Perrier) and Tepr (Tanguy Destable), Yelle first arrived amid a flurry of 80’s inspired pop, with the likes of CSS and New Young Pony Club all revered for their take on brightly colored electro. Pop-Up stood out from the crowd with its wry, frothy and unashamedly fun outlook. This infectious appeal not only led to work with Robyn and Katy Perry, but gained them fans in fellow musicians such as M.I.A. and Mika, fashion designers, Jeremy Scott, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Brian Lichtenberg or Jean-Paul Lespagnard, a young Belgian designer who designed for Yelle all outfits she’s sporting on her new album visuals
as well as mainstream personalities like Perez Hilton,
Drew Barrymore or Jessica Alba.

LYRICS:
J’aime les fraises Tagada et je rêve d’un Wayne’s World 3
Je veux une méga happy end enlacée dans tes bras
Je n’ai pas de dents de sagesse, ça ne manque pas
Quand je mords la nuit à pleines dents pour faire la nouba
Je suis un enfant, comme un adolescent
Je suis un adulte, comme un adolescent
Faut-il vraiment choisir son camp
Le faut-il vraiment, comme un adolescent
Je chante et je pleure, comme un enfant
Je joue à me faire peur, comme un enfant
Je pense tout et son contraire, comme un enfant
Je danse, j’ai le coeur à l’envers, comme un enfant
Je suis sensible au divertissement
Mes gencives savent que le dentiste ment
La drogue agit sur moi lentement
Ah nan je suis con c’est un Efferalgan
Avoue les faits espèce de langue de bois
Avoue l’effet que j’ai sur toi
Je t’enfantise comme un Caranougat
Je t’immunise sur ce refrain en La

New video and album from Foretaste – Superstar
Although I am quite keen on the electronic sounds popping up here and there in this new video from Foretaste, my biggest concern with this is that I am not really sure that Terrorist_XX has the full vocal range – at least in this song, to really make me love it.
“Superstar” is the appetizer from the upcoming album and the single is out now via all digital platforms. In addition to two remixes of the title track, which one is signed record label colleagues Neutral Lies, it also includes alternate versions of two songs from the upcoming album. The new album will be released in two editions in addition to the regular CD edition – a limited double CD that comes with the bonus “Live On Demand” ***. “Live On Demand” contains eleven live recordings from Germany (made in 2008) and gives all the new fans the opportunity to both hear the alternate live versions of the band’s old hits, but also songs from their (long) time expired debut album.
“Love On Demand” will be released November 21 via BOREDOMproduct.
Tracklist – “Love On Demand”
Alone With People Around
Do What You Can
The End Of Days
What About Me?

UK synth pop act Mirrors are back with new material
Although they are now one man short. After several EP’s and singles released in 2009 and 2010, which was then followed by the debut album “Lights and Offerings” early in the spring, the UK band Mirrors are now back with the first two snippets from their recent work in the studio. Here’s their official statement:
“Dear all,
Sorry for our brief hiatus but a lot has changed in the Mirrors camp over the last few months. Firstly we say farewell to Ally Young. Ally has been an integral part of Mirrors since it’s foundations and has brought his ideas and enthusiasm to every part of our world.
We are all very sad to see him leave and wish him all the luck in the world in his future endeavours. We remain the closest of friends. As for the rest of us, we couldn’t be more excited about our future in Mirrors. We’re back in the studio now and the songs are coming thick and fast!”

A second album is under production and will reportedly be released early next year.
BLIND PASSENGER official Videoclip Electrocop
The German electronic project Blind Passenger have released a second single, “Electrocop”, and corresponding music video from the album “Next Flight to planet Earth”. The highly controversial clip, a mix of real movie and animation, dives deep into a world of violent cops, surveillance cameras and total control. A world that is maybe not that far from reality, judge for yourself…

Zynic will release its debut album “Fire Walk With Me” – in the spirit of classic synthpop acts
Electropop act Zynic will release its debut album “Fire Walk With Me” at the end of the month. On the 29th to be precise.
The album will be released as a limited edition of 500 copies through German label Conzoom Records. This edition will feature 4 exclusive bonustracks, remixed by famous artists like Assemblage 23, Iris, People Theatre and Parralox.
Zynic wants to carry the spirit of the 80′s into tomorrow’s sound. Classic acts like Yazoo, Japan, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and OMD were always a big influence on Zynics way of creating his own tunes. And so there is one special highlight on the cd edition of “Fire Walk With Me”. It is a cover version of the classic Depeche Mode hit “Any Second Now”. According to the label, Zynic has covered the song very emotional and with a cool electronic bassline – so it might be one of the best Depeche Mode cover versions that were ever done so far.

The new single from french electro queen Mylene Farmer
Francophone electropop singer Mylène Farmer has released her new album “Bleu Noir”, two years after her last release. The new LP was out yesterday and is available now from iTunes (direct link). It was preceded by the single “Oui mais… non”, which made its radio debut on 6 September and became a Top 3 hit in the Belgian singles charts. “Oui mais… non” was written by Mylène Farmer and composed by RedOne.
Unlike previous musical works by Farmer, Laurent Boutonnat was not included in the production or composition of the single. Instead she hired RedOne, known for his work with Lady Gaga, Moby and Archive to write the album’s songs.
