la roux - 'bulletprooff'

I don't care what anyone says. La Roux pisses over Kanye West when it comes to who is the better performer.

The delightful Ms Jackson is back with more electro-pop, this being the first track from her upcoming new album. It's a slower affair than the like of Bulletproof and shows a lot of maturity in her music. There's no mistaking that she draws heavily from the 80s: New Order, Bronski Beat, Fine Young Cannibals, Pet Shop Boys are all there in this track - the drum pattern in the second half especially is most definitely New Order's True Faith re-mastered. 

I tell you what I like also - the very definitely 80s sounding saxophone especially the interplay between it and the soaring keyboard. Phil Collins would be proud of that part!
