Until recently, twenty-year old singer Elly Jackson was content with merely a guitar. But then she started working with producer Ben Langmaid and completely changed her style of music. Instead of the guitar, the synthesizer became the most important element in her songs. Together, La Roux manage to breathe new life into a genre which has already been doomed dead. Elly Jackson's powerful voice fits perfectly to the Depeche Mode-style Eightie's Electro-Pop, evoking strong emotions in their listeners. Their songs combine timeless electronic sounds with the typical dancing rhythms of today, an intuition for good composition and witty lyrics.
