Our buddies YELLE are back with a brand new tune, “Ici & Maintenant,” that WILL bring you into the moment!
Our buddies Yelle return with a new single “Ici & Maintenant (Here & Now)” on their own label, Recreation Center! The song, co produced by GrandMarnier and Vaughn Oliver, follows YELLE throughout Los Angeles reflecting on her urge to be connected fully to the present moment. Not yesterday, not tomorrow. Here, and now.
“After 3 albums and crazy intense touring over the world, we felt we needed to pause, not looking at the past or being in loops about what is next all the time, no, instead we want to be connected to the present. Here and Now. That’s exactly the idea behind the song. that’s our state of mind. Being simply and fully in the moment.
The video reflects that, it’s very here & now, super extra normal! We made it with our friend Nathan Barnatt who we met a few years ago after he’d done a ‘fan’ video of our “Que Veux tu” song remixed by Madeon.
Normcore to the four on the floor!” – YELLE (Julie Budet & GrandMarnier)
The video is directed by Paul B. Cummings & Jean-François Perrier and has a video-long cameo from Nathan Barnatt.

Paroles:
Je vais bien J’aime les miens Mais pour l’instant c’est ici et maintenant Mais pour l’instant c’est ici et maintenant J’attends le moment J’aimerais bien ne pas savoir trop tôt la fin Mais pour l’instant c’est ici et maintenant Mais pour l’instant on oublie nos leçons J’attends le moment Et pour le moment ça passe |
Lyrics:
I’m fine I love mine But for now it is here and now But for now it is here and now I wait for the moment I would like not to know too soon the end But for now it is here and now But for now we forget our lessons I wait for the moment And for the moment it passes |
