La Roux - Quicksand

[@DamienHurts]

Can we all agree that this album was WAY ahead of its time? She's so talented.

[@ScodyBuddy]

Fr Best song in this Genre!😄

[@vagelismihalis7426]

From now you mean? because music these days is fucking garbage and basic production.This album sounds something from 3000

[@codywarren3525]

One of my favorite albums ever.

[@aliveslice]

The album of its time.

[@MartinAston00]

Yeah, I love almost every song at one point or another. An album I could listen all the way through, which is rare.

[@jimmbear3998]

I had forgotten how good this whole album was. La Roux is so underrated and so much better than most people on the charts today.

[@noneblues]

punta del obelisco

[@CorneliusBartholemeow]

She's brilliant

[@Wandertheworldwithme]

I feel the same way 🎼

[@zoomanoidmultimedia3476]

She's just not cheesy enough for today's charts... This "over-saturated", almost distorted sound with all the synthpop elements is soooo cooool but it's just not simple enough, compared to today's sh*tty pop music.

[@pol4r_]

La Roux's music is so underappreciated; I wish she'd come back

2024 and still an absolute Classic Banger of a track ❤

[@maggie2962]

I am so grateful for La Roux's music! She's so awesome and always gets me dancing ❤

[@WhiteStripesFann]

Oh 80's Gods, thank you for influencing somebody talented and bringing us back good music!

[@211Anon]

Oh my, Elly is just captivating in her androgynous beauty. I've loved La Roux since those first tracks came out 6 years ago. I would love to meet her.

[@qkimin]

new album coming out july 7 and she just released a new single called "Let me down gently".

[@alterracorp7852]

Same even now. Honestly I was a kid when these were super popular and I love them and the nostalgia is immense. I don’t just listen for that obviously though

[@kupigusja9430]

What's androgynous in her beauty? Ugliness? Lol

[@patrickhines5663]

Me too I was a huge fan of Cyndi lauper in the 80s I've fallen for laroux

[@earthenwhere2535]

Wonder what she thinks about being called androgynous... Maybe she is a girly girl?

[@L4chrym4l]

She is merely a human with a multi-faceted interest in all things beautiful. Learn to accept and love it.

[@mariamdermenjyan1598]

I'm the obsessor Holding your hand It seems you have forgotten About your man Alone in the darkness My bed's a different land Your touch intensifies And I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You're the upsetter Stroking my hand What's my position? I don't understand Am I your possession? Am I in demand? Oh, when you turn to me I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You, you moved into to my mind again, oh You, walking around rent free, oh Oh, I can't let you stay But I'm walking on broken ground again Oh, when will I learn? All you do is push me back in the dirt Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo Aaah, Aaah I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand

[@hellomyluvxxxd1355]

Yes I strongly agree she is beautiful and that voice of hers Is absolutely amazing

[@skellybone8]

That short hair... yeah she's pretty

[@alterracorp7852]

She still looks great now as well she has a very distinct style

[@agdgdgwngo]

I think she's gorgeous. It's that kind of androgynous look, not everyones cup of tea. If she was more conventional she wouldn't stand out half as much though

[@bonnieheat_on]

I'll always love La Roux. I wish she was still making music, i swear.

[@NotDaveGahan]

Their new album comes out this year :)

[@SufferingAddict88]

[@theaviers9531]

2 years ago, Elly announced that she was working on her 3rd album. I think I saw sonewhere it was meant to be released this February, so it might be some months late or just in a year or more.

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

[@morgannn2554]

Walffle Militello I've got a feeling their next album will pay off

[@killdanl]

Walffle Militello the second album was disappointing. She went for pop drivel rather than the emotionally deep and passionate talent expressed in her first album.

Her beauty was understated

[@felipegijon5623]

I love this summer vibe the video gives, the sensuality and the mystery woven in her looks and her glance, I love it!!

[@SelenaGomezMuzic]

Her music has an 80's feel to it, and I'm pretty sure I love the 80's. *lots of synth*

[@Otto-Webb]

She is really one of the early precursors of the "vaporwave" style if you think about it.

[@agdgdgwngo]

Kind of. She was sort of inspired by the same thing I guess 80s pop

[@albertklassen6055]

She is at the same time a woman and a child Confident and vulnerable Innocent and sophisticated A novice and experienced Caught in the middle she invents herself and catches us all off guard What a beautiful confusion I'm addicted

[@chasemcnellis6886]

I'm an old dude, but I liker her because she reminds me of Molly Ringwald from my generation. I hope she makes it BIG, the talent is there , I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like this music.!
