La Roux
http://www.smileforcamera.com/wp-con...02/la-roux.jpg
Synth pop duo from Scotland picked as one of the hottest new bands in 2009 by some British magazine whose name I can't remember. Their selftitled album just leaked a few days ago...I don't care for it much, but I just can't get enough of Bulletproof: |
EPIC FAIL.....
just kidding, not bad. |
They're actually alright, not too bothered about getting the album though. I liked the song 'In For The Kill' which is the only one I have.
|
In For The Kill is over-played on the radio and just sounds awful. Bulletproof doesn't sound as bad though, but i certainly won't be picking up their album anytime soon.
|
quite like them, prefer Skream's remix of IFTK though.

Magnificent hair as well. |
I haven't got the album and I've only heard 3 songs off of it and they're not bad "Bulletproof" is quite different from the other two yet still as catchy so it get's my seal of approval.
Oh P.S. I went to see them live and they were quite good they were supporting Lily Allen. |
La Roux and Ladyhawke
Have you guys heard La Roux tunes? She's a newish girl on the scene bringing what I'd call some 80's tetris style electronic music that is in my opinion actually pretty decent. I'm really enjoying the music that's coming out at the moment like her and Lady Hawke. Let me know your thoughts. Here is some vid's to check out:

Lady Hawke:
|
i love her!!! omg!
i thought i was the only one. i wish more ppl in the usa knew abt her. shes free single of the week on itunes tho! get it! |
I've only heard In For The Kill but I can't stand it. Her voice just makes my skin crawl, it's dreadful.
|
high pitched anyone?
|
the remix by redial is the best, get on it!!
|
sorry i mean the remix of bulletproof by redial
|
Shes actually quite decent, she trys new things i like it. Bulletproof is a song i've heard too much, so it now annoys me.
|
she may try new things, good on her. but for me they just dont work.
her stuff really doesnt appeal to me, her voice ahhhhh, goes right through me. |
i was meant to get an album of theirs for free in my mail... still hasn't arrived yet. i'll listen when it arrives.
|
Really liking these guys lately. Been listening to their cd so much these past couple months, so had to dig to find their thread and bump it. ><
Almost every song on this disc really stands on its own imo, with only 2 or maybe 3 fillers. Her voice was a minor annoyance at 1st I have to admit, but I got over that quick, and now I feel like it adds alot to their songs. I can definitely understand though why people would be put off by it. I'm not the kinda person that makes top 10 lists for a year or whatever. If I was though, then this would probably get serious consideration from me to go on my '09 list, based on how many times I've listened to the album. Sorta embarrassing maybe, as I'm not usually a pop fan...but yeah...good stuff. 0_0 |
La Roux
Is anyone else a fan of hers (theirs, technically)? I love their album, and I find myself replaying their debut album at least three times a week with NO skipped tracks.
|
she is a Lady GaGa wannabe
|
There's already a thread for them I'm pretty sure (in the Indie section), but yeah, I picked it as my favorite album for 2009...for whatever that's worth. ><

but they sound identical to Lady GaGa xD
|
Nah, not at all.
|
I don't think she strives to be like Lady GaGa at all. Sorry.
|
it's europop, just like Lady GaGa. The only difference is that Lady GaGa makes europop without being European . But, then again, that's just my opinion. I've heard Lady GaGa, and I've heard La Roux since I have a lot of friends who like them, and it all sounds the same to me (except for Lady GaGa having more commercial lyrics)
|
La Roux isn't bad. My friend just showd me her. I don't think it's something I would typically listen to. But in the moment it was very nice.
|
im excited for her tour
|
Maybe since she's(they) Scottish, It'll be in the line up for T in the Park :D I hopeee!
|
I've already grown tired of this type of pop, well atleast it gives me something else to hate for another decade.
|
loves it. :D la roux has its own thing going on
|
Never mind, I really have no idea what I'm talking about...
|
la roux is great
|
They suck. The vocal annoys me, and they bring nothing new to the table. Just yet another overhyped NME band...
|
Okay I have to agree with those who said La Roux is a little Lady Gaga wannabe. But its good stuff.. It's not really my style, but I like a few songs. But overall its seems over the top, over done.
I like the similarity to Ladyhawke though. But I have to say I like Ladyhawke better. |

I wouldn't call La Roux a Lady Gaga wannabe. Just an 80s pop wannabe. Which is fine because that's obviously what they're going for. But yeah, I think they're alright. Catchy songs. Plenty of good remixes out there of their songs. The lead singer annoys me though. She comes across as an angsty little brat in interviews. Oh well.

Florence and The Machine > La Roux

I saw the video for "Bulletproof" on MTV a few weeks ago so I decided to listen to the whole CD. Not terrible, but not technically good. Catchy and fun to sing along to. I really like "Cover My Eyes" and "Tigerlily".
|
I hate bulletproof and in for the kill, but i like the remaining songs on the album, as you said, not too shabby :)
