Safari Disco Club is the second studio album by French electropop band Yelle. It was released on 14 March 2011 by Barclay Records. The album was promoted by the singles "Safari Disco Club", "Que veux-tu" and "Comme un enfant".

Safari Disco Club received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics upon its release. While some reviewers praised the tracks' catchy melodies and dancefloor-friendly sound, others found it inferior to their debut album Pop-Up (2007). A few critics even went on to criticize the lead singer Julie Budet's vocal performances.

Promotion

The first single, "Safari Disco Club", was released on 10 January 2011,[11] with a music video directed by Jérémie Saindon following on 1 March 2011.[12]

Tour

Yelle supported Katy Perry on the UK leg of her California Dreams Tour, beginning on 17 March 2011.[13] Yelle also toured Europe, North America, South American, Asia and Oceania in support of Safari Disco Club.[14]
