Our Take

La Roux's self-titled debut album, "La Roux," is a delightful throwback to the 80s synth-pop sounds that'll have you reaching for your neon leg warmers and hairspray. With Elly Jackson's standout vocals and infectious hooks, this album is a dancefloor-worthy hit from start to finish.

From the pulsating beats of "In for the Kill" to the cheeky lyrics of "Bulletproof," La Roux expertly combines catchy melodies with a touch of nostalgia. Jackson's vocals soar over the electronic production, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Tracks like "Tigerlily" and "I'm Not Your Toy" showcase La Roux's ability to blend vulnerability with sass, making for a compelling listen that will have you singing along in no time. The duo's knack for writing earworm-worthy hooks is apparent throughout the album, with each song leaving a lasting impression.

While some may dismiss La Roux as a mere pop act, this album proves that there is depth and substance behind the catchy tunes. It's a perfect mix of fun and introspection, making it a must-listen for any fan of 80s synth-pop.

Overall, "La Roux" is a strong debut that solidifies this British duo as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. So grab your glow sticks and get ready to dance the night away with La Roux.

About the artist

La Roux

La Roux, the electro-pop sensation from South London, burst onto the music scene in 2009 with their infectious synth beats and distinctive red quiff. Fronted by the enigmatic and effortlessly cool Elly Jackson, their self-titled debut album shot to the top of the charts, earning critical acclaim and a Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album. With influences ranging from '80s synthpop to modern electro, La Roux has carved out a unique sound that is equal parts retro and futuristic. Tracks like "Bulletproof" and "In for the Kill" are undeniable dancefloor anthems, with Jackson's soaring vocals adding a touch of vulnerability to the pulsating beats. But don't let their glossy production fool you – La Roux's lyrics are often introspective and raw, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Jackson's songwriting is both poetic and confessional, drawing listeners in with her emotive storytelling and keen insight into the human condition. After a five-year hiatus, La Roux returned in 2014 with their sophomore album, "Trouble in Paradise," which showcased a more mature and polished sound while still retaining their signature electro-pop edge. Tracks like "Uptight Downtown" and "Kiss and Not Tell" proved that La Roux's musical evolution was far from over. With their eclectic style, catchy hooks, and electrifying live performances, La Roux continues to captivate audiences around the globe. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, one thing is clear – La Roux is a force to be reckoned with in the world of modern pop music.
