This album is great. If you speak French and can understand the lyrics, you will love it. The lyrics are very funny and witty. It mostly talks about Yelle and her relationships and experiences with men... The music is purposely 80s and Yelle "talks" more than she sings. "A cause des garcons" was a very popular 80s song in France and the remix on this album is great. You can also buy separately the "a cause des garcons" Tepr remix, it is even better. Check also the video on youtube: the video even has Tektonik dancers in it, a very popular dance right now in France.

I too checked out Yelle after seeing her 'unique' video style in commercials on a particular cable station and I too have NO IDEA what she is saying what-so-ever but I have to agree with nauti, her music style and the way she sings is just really catchy and fun. It is reminiscent of the 80's when music was about FUN and not about whining, emo issues and drama. It's worth a listen.

I love good pop music, let me repeat good pop music, in spite of being raised in a classic rock, grunge, alternative loving state. Catchy hooks, foot tapping beats, and simple yet not pathetically juvenile in scope lyrics will always make me pause and listen. This album is a pure pop gem with an emphasis on dance beats and simple hooks that have you whistling songs which, if like me you don't speak French, you don't even know the meanings of. A great album to play in the background during a party or while working at a desk.

Upbeat electronica with all-French vocals make this lively collection fun to listen, drive, or dance to. If you don't speak the language this isn't an easy sing-along. Still, fun listening and a (positive) reminder of club music from a couple of decades ago.

I first heard Yelle's song Tristesse/Joie and I had to say I loved it. It was bouncy and energetic and sounded a little funny (though I would not know, as I don't speak French), but I didn't find the rest of the album to be along its taste. My favorites were probably Les Femmes and Tristesse/Joie, and the rest I would write off as hip-hop with funk influences. Not quite pop in my opinion, which I can so barely tolerate (hip-hop and rap less so), and I was disappointed. However, this doesn't negate the good qualities it still has, such as its hyperness and altogether bouncy, upbeat tunes. Again, I do not know French, so I cannot judge it lyric-wise... But I think I might come to like it more if I listen to it more often.
