Time for your mind to be blown. French electropop. Watch out. The queen of said genre? Yelle, France's answer to Lady Gaga, less pop, more electronica. This chanteuse can sing. As I've mentioned before, music crosses boundaries; you don't need to know a language to understand a song on an internal level. With the danceable, catchy track "Safari Disco Club," you've got something that flows true in "Mercure Au Chrome Et P'tits Pansements" and "J'ai Pas Peur Du Micro." French? Pishaw. If there is a language that is universal, it is good music.
The only part you'll likely understand is the chorus's repeating les animals danse dans le safari disco club, meaning in the literal translation: the animals dance the in safari disco club (thank you, French education up to grade nine). It doesn't matter. Yelle's lovely voice isn't the only star of this show; you have the electronic beats pulsing in the background, sounding like some sort of industrial, jungle-ish orchestra. It kinda sounds like music from the jungle, eh? Man, I want to go to a safari disco club now...
