 ... airplay. I love 'Bulletproof' so the album had a lot to live up to. I would say it is definitely a grower as I was unsure when I first played it. I now really like the album and have been listening to it non stop since I bought it, despite the 80's sounds (im not a fan of anything 80's)! It has been criticised for copying this era, especially bands like Soft Cell and Depech Mode (apparently not very well), but the pair state these as their inspiration and everyone needs inspiration from somewhere! I was only young in the ...more

Crowned Review La Roux - La Roux: Just Like Sgt. June Ackland, La Roux Is Bulletproof (1110 words)

Rating:

It's pretty much official. 2009 is the year of Electro-pop. The indie bands that dominated the music scene for so long are slowly becoming irrelevant if recent chart performances from the likes of Razorlight, Kaiser Chiefs, The Enemy and others are anything to go by. In their place are the hot new talents of the year such as Lady Gaga, Frankmusik, Little Boots and of course La Roux. Contrary to popular belief La Roux is actually a band. It's very much an Eurythmics type situation as far as the media and the public are concerned. Elly Jackson is of course the very androgynmous, odd looking individual who provides the vocals and is the face of La Roux, but Ben ...  Read the complete review

La Roux - La Roux (2009). Elly Jackson & Ben Langmaid are the mainstay of this 80's revival electro pop group, though they do use a drummer and keyboard player. I'll be totally up front and tell you that whilst I have listened to every track I have only downloaded three of the tracks. This is a shameless album that shamelessly takes early 80's sounds like Soft Cell, Flock of Seagulls and even to some extent, Sparks, and tries to turn it into something relevant for today. It does not succeed in my opinion. Yes, the synthesisers are there, yes, her voice is very evocative of the 80's, yes it is 'poppy', in fact all the ...  Read the complete review

My (which is, for the principles of this review 'our') journey begins in January 2009, when I read on the Guardian's online site about La Roux in 'The Ones To Watch: Best of Newcomers in 2009'. I read an interview with her, and watched a video which involved clips of her music videos, along with some backstage stuff. It was interesting, and as a fan of many genres (with a special place in my heart reserved for electronica), with a misguided patriotic belief which is less football hooligan, more 'English electronica rocks (or synths)!' which meant I was quite excited about this development. On the 16th of March 2006 her single In For The Kill debuted at 11 in ...  Read the complete review

La Roux After a really busy summer, l am finally finding the time to sit down and write a review.... Its been a while and l've missed you guys. Myself and my other half have had birthdays, another year older now, but trying not to think about that. But we are richer in CD's, so l may have a few music reviews for you lined up. This is the first one La Roux, this was a birthday gift for me. So here l will let you know what l think...enjoy.... General info. This CD comes in a fairly attractive plastic case, featuring a picture of Elly Jackson from la Roux. You can see from the picture that Elly Jackson has a pretty ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review La Roux - La Roux: This time baby, I'll be...Rupert Grint (426 words)

First off, La Roux is not just her, they are actually a duo, made up of lead singer Ellie Jackson and behind the scenes man Ben, who does all the twiddly production bits. I first heard 'In For The Kill' when it debuted on MTV much earlier this year and I thought, that is going to either be massive or a hige flop. It is now the third biggest seller of the year to date. The debut album lives up to the hype behind the first two singles. 'In For The Kill' opens it up, with screeching vocals and dramatic synths, it is as atmospheric as you like with a superb beat and a hook which refuses to go away. The followup single 'Bulletproof' is a grower, with an insanely ...  Read the complete review
