[tps_header]Yelle: Complètement fou (Kemosabe)[/tps_header]
What It Is: The third album from French electropop band Yelle.
Why You May Have Missed It: Because the lyrics are in French. I can think of no other reason why these songs aren’t coming out of everyone’s headphones.
Why You Should Hear It: It’s constantly catchy, often pretty, and the lyrics are satisfying when translated. I’m not sure if it’s my favorite album of the year—really, there’s like six albums that could take my number one spot—but it’s the one I want to listen to over and over again right now.
(This album’s biggest flaw: it’s produced by Dr. Luke. In any other year, that would be fine. But, considering the sexual assault accusations against him, I feel a bit like somebody going through a Phil Spector phase in 2003.)
Highlights: “Ba$$in,” “Coca sans bulles,” “Toho,” “Florence en Italie,” “Bouquet final.”
