Tunes That Get La Roux's Elly Jackson on the Dance Floor
Deirdre O'Callaghan
After grooving to La Roux's single "Bulletproof" more than a few times, we couldn't help but wonder what makes the synthpop duo's vocalist Elly Jackson hit the dance floor. She got back to LA Weekly with a sizable list of jams, which we've listed below. Check out La Roux Monday night at El Rey Theatre.
Genesis "Follow You, Follow Me"
"Massive tune. A great love song, many would say it's cheesy but I don't think it is!"
Supercharge "I Think I'm Going to Fall in Love"
"A fantastic, 12 minute long disco track."
Toto "Africa"
"Probably the best song there is with the word Kilimanjaro in it."
Billy Ocean "Caribbean Queen"
"A poor man's 'Billie Jean' but I love it."
Orange Juice "Rip It Up"
"TUNE. I love the vocals on this, great bass line too."
