LA ROUX: LET ME DOWN GENTLY

British synth pop singer Elly Jackson aka LA ROUX is finally back to the music spotlight!! She just unveiled the music video for "Let Me Down Gently", the first track to be lifted from new album Trouble In Paradise in stores July 7 (US). Watch!! ...Darker and more subdued then I expected as a kick off single, but great track nonetheless. A little too long to build up to the beat kicking in at the three minute mark, but still love that La Roux is going for something more progressive. Two thumbs up!!

LIKE LA ROUX!

South London synth pop trio LA ROUX are blowing up my mind with their addictive first single Bulletproof. The song is a catchy, 1970's disco mixed with 1980's electro. Think the attitude of Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive with a slight hint of Depeche Mode's new wave sound. It was well received by music critics, and debuted at #01 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was also a hit in the US peaking at #08 on the US Billboard Hot 1oo.

And not to forget, I really like the vocalist Elly Jackson. I find her style, voice and lyrics absolutely artistic and beautiful!
