Mika - Elle Me Dit

Mika suffered from a bit of a sophomore slump with his last album The Boy Who Knew Too Much in 2009. One of the few places where he saw solid sales was in France and I suppose as a way of tapping that loyal following Mika has released the French language single Elle Me Dit (She Tells Me). It's rather fun and as a Francophone there's an almost instant connection for me. The video which does not star Mika does feature Fanny Ardant, celebrated French actress from one of my favorite films 8 Women.

Chromeo feat. Solange - When The Night Falls

Canada's finest come to us with an 80's electro funk banger with a little help from the lovely Solange Knowles. When The Night Falls is a superb throwback track and the accompanying video clip is both highly humorous and sentimental which you hardly see in video these days.
