Yelle: OMG!!!

A new song by Yelle, celebrating summer just as the winds of autumn come over the horizon and France returns to work, school and studies.

OMG!!! tells the tale of a man who has lost his lust for life, but regains it when the sun returns. However, the video makes clear the subject of this tale is in fact...a hamster.

The clip for the new track is every bit as over the top as we have come to expect from Yelle. I have my suspicions it might not be broadcast on TV in the UK.

Julie Budet wearing nothing but glitter might be a visual metaphor for the sun in the clip, but in the UK it's more something The Sun newspaper might get excited about.

Yelle haven't released an album since 2014's Complètement fou collection, but there has been a steady stream of songs though, including Interpassion and Romeo last year.

They've been playing live extensively - they were on the bill at last weekend's Rock en Seine festival near Paris - and have made some significant inroads in the USA, no doubt on the back of their repeat performances at Coachella and their association with Katy Perry.

They've got shows in the USA from October, including three night in New York in November. Two nights have already sold out. They're back in France in the new year.
