I’ve heard some lukewarm reaction to this song around the place but if this is pop music, then welcome the fuck back pop. I do think the video distracts slightly from the awesomeness of the song. Stuck on repeat.
There’s a cool Zinc remix of the tune floating around at the moment too. Don’t think it’s approved to post but there’s an external stream after the jump.

which drew me in straight away, but the tunes dont live up to the art.
You mean this one?

must disagree – it’s a pretty awful song and her voice is still dreadful…
Fair enough. I love it.
don’t you mean the make-up distracts? some dangerous choices there. jesus who the fuck put together that video?
thanks been looking for that zinc track.
It’s not a bad song, but agree – totally wrong video treatment IMHO.
my favourite track of the week, at least. its great..
The cover of the ‘In For the Kill’ is so photoshopped she looks like a different person!
It’s probably the least catchy of her songs, imho, musically it’s not too bad (it’s not outstanding either) but those vocals just KILL me. Sorry Niall, don’t think I’ll ever ever like her…. 😉 Little Boots does a similar thing, but better.
It’s fairly photoshopped alright.
I like the bounce of it. No need to apologise. I’m not offended!
No the cover I linked was what I say and thought this could be the new anoraak

No such luck
That song may have won me over to the way of La Roux.
YAY! WINNER!
What a vid!!
Has a simple yet brilliant chorus, I don’t get the hate its nice pop music.
I frickin’ love La Roux.
Great tune better than In for the Kill although the video is poor
