REVIEW: LA ROUX - BULLETPROOF

It's hard to follow up one of the biggest hits of the year, but "Bulletproof" may just do that.

"In For The Kill" put the spotlight on La Roux with it's cutting edge synth-pop boundary breaking coolness. Everywhere you turned everyone was obsessed with the most unpredictable hit of the year so far. So where does someone who blew up over night go next? They go "Bulletproof".

"Bulletproof" is a very very cool angry-synth track. Imagine a "streetwise" Kelly Clarkson discovering the potential greatness of the Synth, and you've got "Bulletproof". This track is so forward in thinking and will shock at first, but that is what La Roux does, she doesn't follow trends, she creates them. From the simplicity of the music to the rawness of lead singer Eleanor Jackson's voice, this track has the potential to be very big, and it should be. Another great outing from the of the most exciting acts in years.

Score: 8/10
