I'm making booty-pop or pop-pop electro club music, pop songs to
move you're ass to. When I play live, I play a lot with the audience… I
want people to go mad, to dance and jump. Yelle on stage is quite
powerful – we're like an electro hip-hop band with the energy of a rock
band, it's fun! Performing live is 'the thing', it's why I make music.
My lyrics are about relationships between boys and girls, about love,
hate, jogging, parties, fun… it's all about life as a young girl
nowadays, with a lot of humour! I always sing in French, it's my
language… I live and dream in French, and so do I sing.
I grew up
in Britanny - the 'West Coast' of France, it was really nice and
peaceful, I was always into music. With fashion, my style goes a lot
with my personality – I don't cheat with that. My music inspires the
way I dress, what I sing tells me what to wear, my music is pop and
dance – she is shiny, so I wear lots of strong colours. My style is
powerful street pop wear, it's fresh and bright with a touch of
hip-hop… I love life and I want to show it. I'm very 'year 2000' with
an eighties influence – hip-pop open minded style, that's what I'd love
to say. On stage I like to dress more extravaganza but with the same
spirit, at the moment my favourite piece is a yellow smiley dress
designed by Ksubi.
Fashion and music are closely linked... every
kind of music now has a code of style, like if you're hip-hop you're
supposed to wear baggy's and bling-bling, if you're rock it's slims and
stripped, nu-rave is fluoro. But big personalities in music today can
impose their own style, and I like it more this way around. As a teen
Madonna was my icon, I always loved her – the way she always changes
and is always on Top! She's a chameleon and 'the' pop star!
Lyrics
from the song 'Jogging' - "Fière allure, courbatures, Je suis plus
endurante qu'une *ute, Qui bat le pavé_Mes mollets sont tendus, Comme
une corde de mi aigu, Mes talons aiguille me tuent, Je suis jolie comme
un cul, Les garçons me sifflent dans la rue, Et les filles me huent!
