Rallye — Peur du vide (feat. Yelle) (2025) Director: Nicolas Pradeau Era: French Indie-Pop Revival (2025) - Contemporary French indie-pop meets electropop collaboration; part of a new wave of Francophone artists blending chanson sincerity with modern production under labels like Because Music. High curatorial value as a document of the 2025 French indie-pop landscape, capturing a meaningful artistic collaboration between an established electropop icon (Yelle, active since 2005) and a rising quintet (Rallye, signed to Because Music). The video exemplifies the visual grammar of contemporary French music clips—warm, vibrant, high-contrast, fast-cut—while preserving a collaboration that bridges two distinct eras of French alternative pop. Context: Released October 2025 as part of Rallye's third EP 'La vérité sur Rallye' on Because Music, 'Peur du vide' represents a high-profile collaboration between the Colombes-based five-piece and French electropop icon Yelle, whose career spans from 2005 MySpace virality to continued relevance in 2025. Rallye occupies a carefully defined space within the nouvelle scène française, drawing on Phoenix and Tame Impala influences while remaining connected to contemporaries like Oklou. The track's lyrical focus on abandonment and introspection, delivered in French, aligns with the group's stated commitment to sincerity through the French language. The video's warm, high-contrast aesthetic and fast editing pace reflect the visual grammar of contemporary French indie-pop clips. Director notes: Confirmed as director of 'Peur du vide' via IMVDb (imvdb.com/video/rallye/peur-du-vide). The video premiered October 22, 2025, under © 2025 Because Music. Pradeau has a documented prior working relationship with Yelle, having co-directed their 'Top Fan' (2023) video with Jean-François Perrier, and is listed on his own website as director of 'All The Time / Tout le temps' for The Knocks feat. Yelle. His work on 'Peur du vide' continues this established creative partnership with the Yelle camp, now extended to the Rallye collaboration.
