La Roux Is On Fire!

If Prince's "When Doves Cry" and Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" had a beautiful, if not coke induced one night stand the result would surely be the 1st single from British newcomer La Roux.


(Tilda Swinton Sings?)


Effortlessly produced and effervescent, "Quicksand" is a brilliant bit of pop perfection from fire haired siren Elly Jackson and producer Ben Langmaid that retains all of the intensity from its parents without all of the weight.

She is currently touring with Lily Allen and has a full length album due out this spring. Until then, load this onto your iPod and push the repeat button.

Enjoy.

I would like to suggest Lady Gaga's I Like It Rough as a better dancefloor addicting song.

La Roux better watch out. Prince my be small but he's scrappy!
