La Roux

La Roux is not a woman, but rather a British duo consisting of a female Singer/producer and a male producer, although the front woman, Elly Jackson is the pure public face of this outfit. La Roux takes 80’s retro/electro pop marriage that has been going on for a few years now to the next level. Elly Jackson isn’t the best singer alive but for this music, she fits like a glove. The Standouts are “In for the Kill”, Tiger Lilly which features a Thriller- esqe Vincent Price “rap” about stalking a lost love, “Bullet Proof” and “Fascination” and “Growing Pains. Although this album can seem repetitive from a style stand point, it’s fun to listen to, catchy hooks and all. Give La Roux’s self titled album a chance and maybe you might like it.
