Yello je švajčiarske elektronické duo založené roku 1978, ktorého členovia Boris Blank a Dieter Meier vytvorili unikátny zvuk kombinujúci nové elektronické prvky s klasickými nástrojmi a jazzovými vplyvmi. Najväčších úspechov dosiahli v druhej polovici 80. a začiatkom 90. rokov, keď ich albumy Stella a Baby ovládli hitparády vo Švajčiarsku, Rakúsku aj Nemecku.
Kompilácia Yell40 Years z roku 2021 vydaná vydavateľstvom Polydor predstavuje retrospektívu štyroch dekád tvorby skupiny na 4 CD s celkom 71 skladbami. Nájdete tu ich najznámejšie nahrávky vrátane Oh Yeah, The Race, Bostich, Vicious Games či Liquid Lies, ktoré mapujú vývoj ich charakteristického electro-popového štýlu.
V čase vydania kompilácie tvorili Yello Dieter Meier a Boris Blank.
