La Roux’s Kiss And
Not Tell (Sept’14) reminds me of the unbidden huge, happy vibes you get
listening to Katrina and the Waves’ Walking
On Sunshine. Kiss And Not Tell is all 80's synths, bubble, joy and
with more hooks than a Phillipine trawler. A guilty pleasure like eating candy floss
and with about as much nutritional value.
La Roux are English, from the London, and have been popping and bopping since 2006. They were a duo but are now singer Elly Jackson’s solo project. In fact she played, wrote, sang and produced on everythign on the second album Trouble In Paradise (July'14).
Elly cites Madonna, David Bowie and Prince as giving her the urge to make sweet, sweet music.
