Home haircuts with Yelle

A lockdown re-styling for Yelle by the looks of things in the video for the new song Je t'aime encore.

It's been six years since Julie Budet, Grand Marnier and Tepr dropped an album, 2014's Complètement Fou and since then there has been a slow and steady stream of singles, most recently 2018's OMG!!!

Directed by Loïc Prigent, a French director noted for his documentaries about fashion, the video features Haute Coiffure hairdresser Charlie Le Mindu. If you're going for the lockdown haircut, you might as well call in the best.

The song's a lot less frenetic than their usual technicolor technopop, and could easily be interpreted as a song about Julie's relationship with France, where the band have not perhaps enjoyed the success that they should have. Yelle have, after all, made some significant inroads in the USA including a tour supporting Katy Perry, while in France they still remain better known for their debut single Je veux te voir, released back in 2006.

As well as a new album, They've got live dates ahead, fortunately much later in the year, with a sold-out show at Paris La Cigale on October 29 and a second date now added on the 30th.
