Though I believed today was going to be a particularly dull, depressing Monday, the French electropop gods seem to have a different mood in mind for us all today with the announcement of Yelle's new album along with the sharing of its first single. Safari Disco Club, set to release March 29th, will be the first album following her hugely popular Pop-Up, which was almost four whole years ago. Hallelujah, it's about time!
via press release:
"If Pop-Up was a breakout set of fun-loving bawdy pop, Safari Disco Club is it's sharper, wiser sibling. Sonically deeper, multi-layered, and emotionally more diverse, it defines Yelle's style and elevates them beyond any particular scenes to find a unique pop voice. It’s an album that takes us on a captivating journey, with as much ingenuity, beauty and mystery as Pop-Up had sparkle and fun."
The lead-in single and eponymous track "Safari Disco Club" retains all the playfulness and dance-worthy beats as Yelle's older tunes and is an excellent choice for clearing up a case of the Mondays. Before you know it, you'll be wiggling around in your office chair. Enjoy below!
