Single Review: Yelle ‘Bouquet Final’

French Electro-Pop artist Yelle is back with a new song from her as-yet-untitled forthcoming third album, due in the autumn. ‘Bouquet Final’ is the first song she’s released since ‘L’Amour Parfait’ last year.

Her first two albums enjoyed significant success outside of France, but if ‘Bouquet Final’ is anything to go by, this could be her real breakthrough album.

The “Aaahaa”s of the chorus are about as catchy as anything she’s ever done, and the combination of the melody and swooshing drum sounds heard throughout make it her most accomplished song yet.

There was talent lurking under the surface in her previous songs but none had the instant Pop appeal of ‘Bouquet Final’, a song that deserves praise on the same level as Sia’s ‘Chandelier’. Yelle has finally come up with a song that shows the extent of her talents as a composer and arranger.
