Album Review: Pop-Up (English)

Okay so I was trying to be witty with the review in french, but the truth is, if you don't know french you have no idea what the album is like. So I'm going to translate it for you into english, so you can tell how good it is.

Julie Budet has made a name for herself in both her birthplace, France, and in the United States with her first album, "Pop-Up". Known under the pseudonym of Yelle (which stands for You Enjoy Life, only feminized), she explodes in electronic-pop beats with bursts of energy funk.
It is not love at first listen, though. The tracks are well organized, giving the album a comfortable flow of dance beats as well as easy listening, slower songs.
Yelle's influences are mixed, ranging from Madonna and Prince to the British pop band, Blur. The young pop artist has set high goals for the future, and does not take her success with Pop-Up for granted. In an interview with Virgin Music in March 2009, she expressed an interest in starting her own fashion line.
Songs to pay attention to:
1. Ce Jeu
2. A Cause Des Garcons
3. Je Veux Te Voir
