One of my favorite bangers last year was Bodyrox‘s “What Planet U On?”, featuring the delightfully sassy Luciana.

Well, she’s back again–and this time, she’s even sassier. With “I Like That,” the singer finds herself in between two of my favorite mashers, Richard Vission and Static Revenger. The concept is a complex one: A laundry list of things she likes, including “Gucci Gucci,” “money money,” and eating New York.

Oh, and the video is pure neon Yelle meets Ting Tings goodness.

I like this.

WAIT, BUT FIRST–ISN’T THE NEW MUUMUSE HEADER ADORABLE?

Thanks, I did it myself. I even made that disco ball!

Sorry.

But yes, it’s true–Robyn and Yelle are doing each other, and the aftermath is being released today as part of the iTunes Foreign Exchange series.

Robyn will be covering Yelle’s “A Caus Des Garcons” for an English version called “Because Of Boys,” while Yelle will be laying out “Qui Est Cette Fille,” the French interpretation of “Who’s That Girl.”

Swedish indie quirk electro-pop? Meet French indie quirk electro-pop. And yes–it’s a very good thing.

You can head to Pitchfork to stream Yelle’s track (which is exceptionally crafted), or click below to preview & purchase both tracks now.

It’s official–MuuMuse is going global.

Trust me, you’ll want to soon…Contests are in store in the very near future.

In celebration, a random remix is in order.

Please enjoy the gloom-and-doom, stomping rendition of Yelle‘s “Ce Jeu” by Hoshina! It’s a bit unconventional, though a welcome contrast to Yelle’s usual bubblelectro.

Bon D’accord.

Today’s the video premiere of Ayu‘s “Mirrorcle World” and its divalicious. There are some occasional style rip-offs of her Memorial Story era videos, but she’s in fishnets and a corset for God’s sake, so let’s not get picky. While the beginning drags a bit as she vogues down the streets of France in her beret, the video picks up pretty quickly. The telephone booth sequence is pure hot tranny fierceness as she gets all dramatic about the Matrix-like baddies trying to break in on her phone sex session. The necessary “one giant poofy dress per video” law is also well and alive here, properly drowning her in loads of fabric.

Then we’ve got the primary color-centric, sex-laden electro romp from Yelle, for the hottest single off her album “Je Veux Te Voir”. She demonstrates the proper usage of gym-related paraphernalia, the fit of several box cut mini-dresses, and her mastering of awkward hand-clap related dance moves. I don’t know, I’d never really seen Yelle perform before, but I just didn’t picture this kind of music coming out of her…she looks like such a proper little lady, it’s adorable! Oh, and do watch for the brief subliminal cameos of a Strawberry and a Banana near the end of the club scene.

Yelle was introduced to me as the French response to M.I.A.. Upon hearing the entirety of her debut album, Pop Up, I’m seeing traces of something much more dance-oriented, shedding the raw intensity and hook heaviness that signify M.I.A.’s musical identity. As for the artist in question, Yelle grew in fame quickly, due to blog attention and Myspace Music views. Last summer, she rolled out her debut, which bounces between happy-go-lucky, electropop ditties and hard-hitting club beats. Now to the tracks. Near the opening of the album, “A Cause Des Garçons” offers a synth-happy house styling that relies mostly on the electronics below, benefiting from occasional vocal blips that seem more foreign to the ear than the interwoven computer noise permeating the track. The chanting lyrics at the end of the song serve as an indication of what’s to come later on in the album. Still, she restrains herself for now.

“Dans Ta Vraie Vie” moves toward the territory of Tigarah; taunting horns and brush-off lyrical stylings, while “Tristesse/Joie” bounces merrily along a stringy bass line and gilded synths; it’s a lovely nothing on top of electro clouds. But…don’t pause that track just yet! Yelle pulls a J. Timberlake and adds a shortened second track to the latter half of this track, a more frazzled, soaring version of the first.

Further on, tracks like “Les Femmes” takes it down a bit, adding a sexy 8-bit swing, yet remaining faithful to the album’s sound. “Je Veux Te Voir” is the stand out here; an all-out dance anthem. Language is no barrier here; this is a hands-in-the-air alarm call for the club crowd and indie scene alike.

Pop Up is nothing particularly memorable. Each track has a limited staying power as far as attention span is concerned. At the moment however, it’s a fun form of electric escapism. The album’s contents are like musical truffles; each one a sugary confection, filled with something rather delicious in the middle bits. Be sure to take a sampling of these dancefloor delights before they’re all chewed up:
