What Happened To La Roux?

[@dangelowallaceagain]

I used to have the skrillex remix of la roux's song 'in for the kill' on repeat 24/7 when i was like 12 years old

[@1800-ASHA]

Oh hey Angelo ☺

[@opinionatednobody5631]

oh hi there cant wait for the new video this weekend!

[@minimalistmarjaana]

Bulletproof was my favourite song on Nintendo Wii karaoke when I was a kid. They displayed the music video as well and Ellie was the first androgynous female I ever saw, I remember being very impressed.

[@Emmabowlesss]

Great taste in music my guy

[@Ashley-vs8nu]

Imagine seeing you here😯

[@sunnysideupbrown]

Bulletproof was HOT before tiktok was even a thing

[@agata_cz]

Yep and it didn’t need TikTok to be revived and listened to either, I still go back to this song with enthusiasm.

[@Amy4325]

This, it was a hit years ago. And it doesn't need Tik Tok now either.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

Yep

[@hotkisshoney]

EXACTLY

[@Alecexo]

No shit Sherlock it came out almost 10 years before tiktok

[@ariannajaye2725]

Bulletproof is a bop

[@ivandell7433]

Period

[@1800-ASHA]

Is it weird that I think In For The Kill is a better song than Bulletproof? Maybe it's the 80s vibe that gets to me 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@alextroy9202]

Yes!

[@slickjumpedoverthelazydog]

Yep

[@crumbyflower]

she said “ bulletproof “ and dipped

[@Moonshinexmoonshine]

She literally released her third album in December, she’s still around ☹️

[@Callieforniiaa]

Omg I always wondered what happened to La Roux. But allot of Artist hates their biggest hits.

[@galliano100]

Whenever I hear bulletproof I want to cry. That song takes me back to when I was 14, living at home with my parents, playing IMVU and waiting for my mom to finish cooking. Now I’m 24, lost my mom, trying to become a adult. Wow.

"This time, Baby I'll Be Bulletproof" - LA Roux

[@aaliyahfoster2705]

Me when my ex-best friend sabotaged my career and I had to pick a new route.

[@nathanconstable6833]

As a massive La Roux fan, I feel like I should mention a couple of things that are missing. Elly lost her voice due to panic attacks and stress in between the first and second albums, which was part of the reason it took her so long to release the second despite the writing starting pretty early on and it being sung in her chest voice mostly. After that amazing album, she made an entirely new one with lots of collaborators before scrapping the whole project because it "was repeating the old mistakes" she made, like letting others take control over her ideas. Therefore, she decided to make Supervision, completing it in just four months as she "can now see everything clearly" but also doesn't need anyone else to tell her what her music should be. :)

[@nathanconstable6833]

@@cawfee-pv9ib Sounds like she might be touring NEW music then as well 🤞

[@zoso73]

Ben Langmaid was her chief song-writer. When he left, she fizzled out. It's too bad they didn't stick together.

[@NekoBoyOfficial]

I'm proud of her standing up for herself. La Roux may not be as popular now, but sounds like she's where she wants to be.

[@dasuniversum5875]

i love bulletproof and let me down gently soooooooooooooooo much you cant believe and its more than that... idk what is it but this woman has a very special place in my heart

@Sminem I loved tiger lily. I can’t find a lot of her stuff on KZbin but she had the very raw versions up once upon a time. They are in the gold album though. Tiger lily had a version without the creepy voice in it and it was a more true sound to her voice. I couldn’t agree more. Tiger lily is in my top 3 from la roux

[@whitenoise0303]

I was 16 and working at forever 21 the time bulletproof and in for the kill was released her style literally influenced everything i wore in 09 i never kept my paycheck 😂

Those were the days LOL 😂

[@fabiofuoco]

Omg sameee I was obsessed with her style I wanted to own everything she had. The colorful jackets and printed leggings, the cameo necklaces, ugh I remember that so vividly

Her second album "Trouble in Paradise" is one of my all time favorite albums. I love listening to her song "Paradise is you" while driving along the ocean.

you should do a video on Lily Allen. just like La Roux, she is one of the most influential musicians of the British scene in the 00s. does anyone feel me?

A thousand times yes. I loved her so much in 08/09 and had "Fuck You" on my myspace playlist. I dont know why she's so slept on these days but her biggest hits are all mostly from that time

[@christiantoglia8334]

I love La Roux's music to this day. Their second album was just as good as the first. Elly's third album Supervision, I thought, was a solid album. I didn't like it as much as the first 2, but it had some great songs. And the fact that she wrote, produced, sang, and played all the instruments for it is very admirable.

La Roux’s self titled album was underrated. Colourless Colour will always be a BOP. Don’t even get me started on Bulletproof

[@dafdutra]

La Roux was (a still is) my favorite female artist growing up. She really paved the way for me to get into pop and listen to music outside my comfort zone. I was obsessed with her and I think she is making wonderful music now like she did back then. That woman is very dear to my heart 🤍

[@TheBarnabascolins]

I am a massive La Roux fan, but i never cared that much for Bulletproof, im glad it put her on the map, her talent deserves it, but i almost never listen to that, its kinda like a kids song so i can understand her not liking it any longer, she grew up.

La Roux, Ladyhawke, Little Boots - the 3 of them in 2010s were ingenius and underrated, perfect for making the top hits radio listenable at last, but they didn't make it. Tigerlily and Colorless Colour (and open my eyes maybe too) were clearly the best songs, glad to hear it was her favs.

I love how this just so happened to appear on my reccommended. I just bought her second album vinyl its been my favorite since it released. Im happy she is getting noticed by new listeners on Tik Tok. It gets word out about her music but all trends die out on there so she wont skyrocket into popularity again. Its nice and she likes the memes as she posts them on her facebook.
