Yelle

Yelle, fronted by Julie Budet, has established a global presence with their unique French electropop sound, attracting collaborations with notable producers and artists. After their track ‘Je veux te voir’ garnered significant attention on MySpace in 2005 and subsequently reached the top five in France in 2006, Yelle, fronted by lead singer Julie Budet, quickly secured a record deal. Their distinctive French electropop sound, crafted in collaboration with producer Jean-François Perrier (GrandMarnier), defined their debut album, Pop Up, released in 2007. This album featured successful singles including ‘Je veux te voir’ and ‘A cause des garçons.’ That same year, Tepr (Tanguy Destable) joined the band as a touring keyboardist and later contributed to studio recordings.

They released the single ‘L’amour parfait’ in 2013, before unveiling their third studio album, Complètement fou, in 2014. This project marked a significant collaboration with American producer Dr. Luke and his team, who were drawn to Yelle after hearing their remix of Katy Perry’s ‘Hot n Cold.’ Yelle has also made a strong mark on the festival circuit, performing at Coachella three times. Yelle continued to release new music throughout the latter half of the decade, including the single ‘OMG!!!’ in 2018.

Their fourth album, L’Ère du Verseau, was released in 2020, featuring the single ‘Je t’aime encore’ which also dropped that same year. Through a consistent output of music and high-profile performances, Yelle maintains a substantial international following, continuing to captivate audiences with their unique artistry and electrifying live shows.
