{"product_id":"la-roux-la-roux-vinyl-lp-record","title":"La Roux - La Roux - Vinyl LP Record","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in very limited quantities on vinyl in 2009, the album, La Roux, contains the UK No. 1 single Bulletproof as well as the Top 3 smash In For The Kill. La Roux was shortlisted for the 2009 Mercury Prize and won Best Electronic\/Dance Album at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Roux was a refreshing addition to the world of pop. Brixton-born Elly Jackson was inspired more by the music of Nick Drake and Neil Young than synth pop, and when Ben Langmaid first heard her, she was playing her songs on an acoustic guitar. Together, they updated the template for the synth duo, Langmaid resolutely in the background, while Jackson became the face and mouthpiece for the group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir debut single, Quicksand, was released on Kitsune Records in December 2008, and soon after Polydor signed them, and amid a flurry of press attention, In For The Kill came out in March 2009, rising to No. 2 in the UK. In June that year, Bulletproof topped the charts, paving the way for the album, which was received warmly in the UK and made huge inroads into the US charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJackson's androgyny and the duo's musical style evoked the 80s, yet this was no mere pastiche. The songs had heart and soul and were delivered with matchless panache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"People don't just want R\u0026amp;B girls thrusting their groins at them,\" she told The Guardian. \"It gave me hope. People bought the record even though it was fronted by this odd boy-looking ginger girl.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Roux is presented with scrupulous attention to the detail of the original UK first pressing and is available in audiophile 180gm vinyl. Whether replacing a much-loved original copy or adding to a collection afresh, this is a superior way to enjoy such enduring and influential music.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 In for the Kill\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Tigerlily\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Quicksand\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Bulletproof\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Colourless Colour\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 I'm Not Your Toy\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 Cover My Eyes\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 As If By Magic\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 Fascination\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10 Reflections Are Protection\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e11 Armour Love\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e12 Growing Pains\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kk8eJh4i8Lo\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Roux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54921657876819,"sku":"VLAROLARO1665","price":24.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/4316\/0403\/files\/la-roux-la-roux-vinyl-lp-record-963461_a999a147-cc2e-4807-b8b9-0e3c5452a0a9.jpg?v=1789544267","url":"https:\/\/globall-sports.myshopify.com\/products\/la-roux-la-roux-vinyl-lp-record","provider":"GLOBALL SPORTS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
