Attention: Yelle's US Push

So, while I'm away and unable to post any hot new tracks, I wanted to at least post up some new videos and music news. In the past I've used the Attention section to highlight other blogs and big music news and the like, so now I feel it's appropriate to start using it for short news snippets also. This arrived in my inbox a while ago, but I didn't get around to posting about it until now. Yelle, the French electro-pop singer that burst onto the scene just a few years ago with the highly addictive "Je Veux Te Voir," is set to get a new US promotional push this fall. Released on these shores back in January, her debut album Pop-Up is a sensational collection of pop stormers that could very possibly end up my favorite of the whole year. She just recorded a new video for album opener and catchy standout "Ce Jeu," which got its premiere two weeks ago on Perez Hilton. Like the woman herself, the clip for the third international single is simple, colorful and quirky, fitting the magnificent song well. With interest stirred, she will be coming over to the States for a full US tour in October. Frustratingly, the only date in the San Francisco area is at a 21+ venue, and while yours truly is just a few months shy, I may need some help making it to the show (if anyone has any ideas/press passes...). If you're on her tour route, be sure to check her out, as she's bound to put on a fun show. Watch the video and find the tour dates below.
