La Roux are an English electropop “synth duo” band made up of singer and synth player Elly Jackson and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid, with Jackson describing their respective roles as “very much a half and half sharing situation… not like a singer producer outfit”, but also recognising that it often can “look like a solo act”. Elly found a book of baby names in a bin. Within the book was the name La Roux, French for “red-haired one”. Their music is largely influenced by 1980s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Yazoo and Prince.

The first single - “Quicksand” - was released by the Kitsuné Music record label in November, 2008. Polydor are set to release La Roux’s debut album in 2009. Polydor have released La Roux’s second single “In For The Kill” on 16 March, 2009, and prominent dubstep producer Skream has created two remixes of the track. “In For The Kill” debuted at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart on 22 March 2009, peaking at number 4 to date.

La Roux were the supporting act on Lily Allen’s UK tour of March 2009.

La Roux gained fifth position on the BBC’s Sound of 2009 poll^[7]. The Guardian website, featured La Roux on their new band of the day column. The Guardian also featured La Roux as one of the “Best New Acts of 2009″ in the January of that year.

Lyrics for In for the Kill by La Roux

We can fight our desires,
ooooo-ooooo,
but when we start making fires.
We can’t have it so hot,
ooooo-ooooo,
whether we like it or not.

They say we can love who we trust,
ooooo-ooooo,
but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions,
ooooo-ooooo,
what are feelings without emotions?

CHORUS:
I’m Going in for the kill,
I’m doing it for a thrill,
oh I’m hoping you’ll understand,
and now let go of my hand.

I’m Going in for the kill,
I’m doing it for a thrill,
oh I’m hoping you’ll understand,
and now let go of my hand.

I hang my hopes out on the line,
ooooo-ooooo,
will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long,
ooooo-ooooo,
they’ll be withered by this song.
[In For The Kill Lyrics & Music Video
@ http://songlyricsvideos.com]

Full-stops and exclamation-marks,
ooooo-ooooo
my words stumble before I start.
How far can you send emotions?
ooooo-ooooo
Can this bridge cross the ocean?

CHORUS:
I’m Going in for the kill,
I’m doing it for a thrill,
oh I’m hoping you’ll understand,
and now let go of my hand.

I’m Going in for the kill,
I’m doing it for a thrill,
oh I’m hoping you’ll understand,
and now let go of my hand.

Lets call to all to make peace,
Lets by cold to create ease.
Open darkness we can see,
You’re not blind, borrow the light from me.

ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo
ooooo-hoooo

I’m Going in for the kill,
I’m doing it for a thrill,
oh I’m hope you’ll understand,
and now let go of my hand.
