Product Description
Album Description
Heavyweight vinyl LP pressing in a gatefold picture sleeve complete with a bonus A2-sized poster. Highly anticipated 2009 debut album from Elly Jackson (AKA La Roux), who has everyone from Franz Ferdinand to Daft Punk hailing her as a talent to watch. This self-titled album is a kaleidoscope of emotions, touching on everything from heartbreak to disappointment to invincibility: all in true spine tingling La Roux measures that create an instant resonance. Ranging from the high crystal-clean falsettos of `Fascination' to the brooding lulls of ballad `Cover My Eyes' (that features London Community Gospel Choir), the breadth of the album and La Roux's diversity is clear. For Elly and co-producer/ writer Ben Langmaid, La Roux has never been about producing disposable dancefloor fodder. Since meeting four years ago the talented duo's goal was clear - they wanted to bring classic songwriting back into the clubs and charts, and with this album they've accomplished that and far more.

There is much more to LAROUX than being BULLETPROOF!,
By
This review is from: La Roux (Audio CD)
When Laroux first released her current self titled CD, in the summer of 2009, it generated favourable reviews from the majority of music critics in the UK and impressively debut atop their album charts at #2.This release is a major contributing factor currently nourishing the present musical fervour in the UK toward the sounds of "nouveau new wave" ~ a musical format highly influenced by the sights and sounds of 1980s new-wave. Laroux remains loyal to the 80s formula yet her unique vocal quality sparks a renewed warmth into the project. As Lene Lovich previously achieved with "New Toy" and "Lucky Number", the bulk of the material on LAROUX is straight forward dance with a twist of lyrical astuteness. With her "Flock of Seagulls" hairstyle and "Bronski Beat" falsetto, she generates an air of merriment back into pop music. LAROUX may sound mindless but one must pay close attention to the lyrical content provided on the CD. Tracks such as "IN FOR THE KILL", "BULLETPROOF", "I'M NOT YOUR TOY" and "FASCINATION" could have had the potential etiquette of being disposable pop yet subtle lyrics vehicle a carefully camouflaged message behind the musical vibe. If you enjoy the electronic-pop sounds of the new-wave era then I highly recommend for you to instantly refresh your eardrums with a good dose of 2009's "LAROUX".

Fun!,
By Martine "MC" (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Roux (Audio CD)
This is a fun light beat album, but feels a little empty at times. We get a vibe from the pop dance culture of the 80's! I enjoyed all their songs & can't wait for their next album. Good futur for this UK based singer!
