Posted October 15, 200816 yr La Roux 'Quicksand' ıı December 15 // Offical Site http://a373.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/52/l_8f25975791990bef18d85bf158b70de4.jpg La Roux Synopsis Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, for the show is about to begin. ‘The red haired one’ will now start making electro-pop mean something again. Elly Jackson is 20 years old, she has a short ginger bob, freckles, a nose that makes your heart turn to a puddle, but more importantly a way with melodies that makes everything else around you completely vanish. The Brixtonite’s experiencing all the things girls of that age tend to; heartbreak, frustration, wonderment, invincibility and fragility. But unlike most girls her age, Elly has a staggering ability to channel all these 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. “It’s not that I can’t listen to music without words that mean something, I do all the time. It’s just not the kind of music I want to make. I’ve cried between vocal takes. I want to connect with people at that level.” Whilst her weekends may be full of moshing around slippery sweat pits to the likes of Justice and Boyz Noize, her creative waters are stirred most by the artistry of the original electro chart pioneers like Eurythmics and Depeche Mode. Now the baby-faced siren is preparing a similar triple pronged attack; targeting charts, clubs and hearts. Her debut single 'Quicksand' is released via Kitsuné in December or something. You can listen to 'Quicksand' on her website, linked at the top of the page. She's just inked a deal with Polydor. We had Duffy/Adele neo-singer-songwriting it this year, 2009 to equal the year of La Roux vs. Little Boots? Quite possibly I'd say...
October 15, 200816 yr OMG YES. Absolutely fantastic, first heard this on PJ a few weeks ago :o If La Roux and Little Boots don't get big next year there is no God :(

Quite possibly I'd say... yeah been hearing loads of hype around La Roux - and some of the pictures of her are very striking - tho have to say its a bit of a let down perhaps a bit too 80s electro-pop for my liking - perhaps more Eurythmics than Depeche Mode (however if La Roux end up sounding more like a real grungey Depeche or even Laibach maybe i'll be more intersted - but this unlikely)
December 2, 200816 yr LMBNZ6mDSYk i noticed this on popjustice earlier ^_^ Love this song atm, have managed to get half my flat mates loving it as well :D
December 2, 200816 yr Video is alright... feels a bit try-hard. Really decent song, but I just can't like her. She's a blatant cow and it's ruining the listening experience for me somewhat. If there's a LB vs LR battle as you suggested Jake, then Boots all the way!
