‘Ding!’ “Seconds out, Round two!”

Ducking and diving, it’s the mad Swede Robyn with an English take on Yelle’s ‘À Cause Des Garçons’, ‘Because Of Boys’.

Mixing it up ‘Cobrastyle’ Robyn’s tack is actually very cool, however the song itself doesn’t translate as well which is most evident in the chorus. What was once a big focal point to the track becomes almost apologetic in English.

It’s a pity as Robyn brought a brilliant ElectroPop tune to the ring.

I kinda’ prefer Yelle’s track, but in the end the we, the listeners, are the winners!

As part of the iTunes Foreign Exchange series France and Sweden are going head-to-head in a clash of the ElectroPop nutcases.

Round One sees Parisian Electro queen Yelle covering Robyn’s ‘Who’s That Girl?’ in her native tongue and she comes out swinging with a brilliant upbeat Club-Pop take on the track that’s bristling with ‘crazy’.
