Meaning "red-haired one" in French, La Roux is the synth pop project of singer/songwriter Elly Jackson, a girl with flame hair, an androgynous look and a penchant for the higher register, and keyboardist/producer Ben Langmaid.
"La Roux irrevocably establish their love of 80s pop. This debut album continues the duo’s foray into euphoric retro-dance, nodding non-ironically to the likes of The Eurythmics and Depeche Mode while remaining impressively contemporary. It’s apparent that La Roux have colour, class and confidence in spades." - Danny McKenna, amazon.co.uk
"Elly Jackson was born to be a star. So far 2009 belongs to La Roux, the rest are just playing catch-up." - Michael Cragg, musicomh.com
