What is the press saying?
“Elly Jackson, is a cooler Sophie Ellis Bextor: her dance-pop tunes are infectious, she looks striking (her vertical red hairdo attracts frequent comments from strangers), and she says what she thinks.” - The Guardian
“The combination of Elly Jackson's ethereal vocals and a prominent, lively drum beat will have you hooked. Retro pop magic.” - The Sun
"Together with synth player/producer Ben Langmaid, she makes stylish and tres moderne, hooky electronic pop.” - Time Out London
“Her current single, Quicksand (Kitsune), clones the froideur of Jackson's favourite decade with
love and skill, and makes for nagging pop with emotional substance. Clearly, La Roux has greater ambitions than just getting poseurs to dance.” - The Independent
Brace yourself North America, and get ready to be blown away by one of UK’s biggest musical sensations, La Roux. At just 21-years-old, Brixton (South London)’s Elly Jackson and partner-in-synth-pop-crime Ben Langmaid were voted #5 in the BBC’s “Sound of 2009” list and have already won over music fans across the UK. They will make their North American debut, performing at a string of venues next month.
Elly and Ben started their successful collaboration just two years ago. Together they write perfect electro-pop tracks that have been luring fans from their seats to the dance floor since they first started playing in London warehouse spaces in 2008. Razor sharp lyrics, up-tempo beats, and remarkable synthesizer skills only scratch the service of the sensational 80’s inspired tracks that have taken the UK by storm.
Singles “Quicksand” and “In For the Kill” prove that “La Roux sees electronic musical equipment not as cold instruments of aural torture or imperious alienation but as ways to soundtrack her stories in the most immediately accessible way possible” - The Guardian.
