La Roux
Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats, for the show is about to begin.
Elly Jackson 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.
La Roux took the UK by storm in 2009 with a string of hit singles including IFTK which became the most downloaded single ever in the UK by a uk artist . Now focusing attention on America La Roux have already had a top ten hit with Bulletproof selling over 1.7m copies with self-titled debut album selling 250,000 and rising.
