Album review: La Roux
LA ROUX: LA ROUX *** POLYDOR, £12.72
SNAPPING at the heels of Little Boots, La Roux, aka Brixton synth kid Elly Jackson, has already made an impression on the charts – and the Glastonbury festival – with the tinny but catchy In For The Kill. Her debut album is simply more of the same reedy electro pop about love, relationships and all that, with marginally more underground club cachet than Little Boots' brazen chart pop. On Cover My Eyes, she does agonising heartache pretty well, but overall her thin, shrill voice is off-putting, as if she has purposefully settled on a key uncomfortably high for her.
