NEXT LA ROUX ALBUM WILL BE ACOUSTIC OR DUBSTEP...

.... Well not exactly, but this article by The Guardian gives a great insight into the mind of La Roux's Elly Jackson. I really like this paragraph:

Aware that her outspokenness is proving increasingly polarising, Jackson draws a distinction between the artist and their art. "I'm still going to listen to Gary Glitter's records even though he's a kiddie-fiddler," she says. "Don't let his problems ruin your life. You're not buying their personality, you're buying their music. Of course it's never nice when you're into an artist and you discover they're horrible, and, yes, it would be disappointing if I suddenly found out that Annie Lennox was racist. But you'd still love the music. It wouldn't matter what I heard about Michael Jackson or Prince – you can't just stop liking a song."

La Roux plays The Palace in Melbourne this Thursday, 1st October.

Hangtime @ Ding Dong is hosting the La Roux afterparty with DJ's Ooh-Ee, Mafia, '96 Bulls, Mat Cant, Dublin Aunts & Paydirt.

Sneaky lil bonus:
La Roux - Bulletproof (Fred Falke Remix)

NEW ALBUMS YOU SHOULD HAVE...

La Roux - La Roux

I bought this yesterday and I love it. I've seen some people make comparisons which I don't really understand, but if we're gonna go there: La Roux > Little Boots.





Yuksek - Away From The Sea

Alright, not so new, but I only just gave the album a chance last week and its pretty great.





Melanie Fiona - The Bridge

Imagine Jazmine Sullivan meets Amy Winehouse meets Lauryn Hill. This is a brilliant debut album from Melanie Fiona. Plus have you seen how hot she is?

Salaam Remi has this sound on lock now. Salaam Remi > Mark Ronson.

LA ROUX - BULLETPROOF

I'm pretty much digging everything I've heard from UK electro-pop duo, La Roux, including The Twelves & Chateau Marmont remixes of the previous singles "In For The Kill" & "Quicksand", respectively. "In For The Kill" is currently #2 on the UK Singles Chart.

"Bulletproof" is the third single from the forthcoming self-titled album La Roux via Polydor.

Sidenote: Did anybody else notice a massive difference in the mix between the version of "Quicksand" on Kitsune's mix to the one that appeared on La Roux's Quicksand EP?



Quicksand



In For The Kill

*Something about the vocal on this joint reminds ALOT of Janis Ian...
