La Roux are an English electropop synth duo band made up of singer and synth player Eleanor Jackson, known as Elly, and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid, with Jackson describing their respective roles as "very much a half and half sharing situation... not like a singer producer outfit", but also recognising that it often can "look like a solo act".[1] Elly Jackson is the daughter of actress Trudie Goodwin, known for her role in the TV series The Bill.[2] Elly found a book of baby names in a bin. Within the book was the name La Roux, French for "red-haired one". Their music is largely influenced by 1980s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Yazoo and Prince.
The first single, Quicksand, was released by the Kitsuné Music record label in November, 2008.[3] Polydor are set to release La Roux's debut album in 2009.[4] Polydor have released La Roux's second single In For The Kill on 16 March, 2009, and prominent dubstep producer Skream has created two remixes of the track.[citation needed] In For The Kill debuted at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart on 22 March 2009, peaking at number 2 to date.
La Roux were the supporting act on Lily Allen's UK tour of March 2009.[5]
La Roux gained fifth position on the BBC's Sound of 2009 poll.[6] The Guardian website featured La Roux on their new band of the day column.[7] The Guardian also featured La Roux as one of the "Best New Acts of 2009" in the January of that year.[1]
Jackson has been linked to a pop music trend that features androgynous twenty-something women with a strong individualistic attitude. She has cited musicians David Bowie, Annie Lennox, actress Molly Ringwald, and TV presenter Elton Welsby as her influences. Jackson signed her recording contract with a tee shirt emblazoned with the phrase "I'm a Cunt".[8]
La Roux will headline the Samsung NME Radar Tour 2009 and play alongside Magistrates, Heartbreak and The Chapman Family[9].
