La Roux
With hits "Bulletproof" and "In for the Kill", "the red haired one" made electro-pop mean something again.
Londoner Elly Jackson has a staggering ability to channel all her feelings and experiences into wondrous blasts of crystal-clean ear candy that hit the listener with instant resonance.
But La Roux (French for "the red haired one") isn’t about disposable dancefloor fodder or meaningless pap - her creative waters are stirred most by the artistry of the original electro chart pioneers like Eurythmics and Depeche Mode, while she grew up strumming along to soul-searching sage’s like Nick Drake and Neil Young, starting points that still ground her today.
The result of the gestation period of classic songwriting-meets-synth is a spread of tracks where a timeless electronic utopia and a Noughties’ head-nod danceability is underpinned by a painstaking way with words.
