I admit to having a big electro-crush on Yelle. With a bubblegum-synth sound and a tongue-in-cheek range of 80s outfits to match, she certainly deserves her stage name (the feminised form of an acronym for “You Enjoy Life”).

Yelle came to fame after posting a track to MySpace which implied that a certain Parisian hip hop artist lacked length (and she wasn’t talking about track-times), which was to later become her first single, “Je veux te voir”. With some production by good friend GrandMarnier (worth checking out for his remixes), it garnered plenty of MTV play and then went onto last year’s album “Pop-up”.

Check out the video for “Ce jeu” for a taste of Yelle’s style, both musically and dress-sense.

Capitalising on her unique couture is a Facebook Application allowing you to send pictures of Yelle to your friends: Yelle ♥ gifts
