What's The Story?
La Roux are a British electronic duo made up of a vocalist and a producer. This smash hit is from their eponymous & only studio album.
Who's To Blame?
A guy with the talent, potential and attitude to be the next Hunter S. Thompson.
Why ♥ It?
Funny story for this tune. It popped up on Grooveshark radio one day, and a friend of mine (the to-blame guy) told me who and what it was.
On another occasion, I played the song for a few friends, all of similar attitude to me; love to talk about and listen to music. None of the guys had heard it, and I got mad props for recommending it because the vocal work is stellar and the tune is catchy.
Flash forward to a couple weeks later, when I recommend the song to another of my friends, telling her that it sounded like something from trashy radio but was great. Turns out, this song is all over trashy radio, and I got some funny looks for recommending it like it was something new and unknown.
The very next day, I was drunkenly accosted by one of the guys I'd recommended the song to. Apparently, he'd tried to spread the word too, to the same "what are you, an idiot?" kind of response.
I love when songs have stories or memories attached to them, and I felt like sharing this one. That's probably the main reason I ♥ it now, but it's still a catchy electronic sound with a striking vocal performance.
Even if you can hear it on Generic Hits FM.
