@the rich girls are weeping: But! Fascination grows on you? Sorta? Anyway, I have discovered that perhaps La Roux is basically exists just for remixing. Once those terrible backing tracks are gone, the songs blossom into betterness. Thanks, Hype Machine!

@the rich girls are weeping: Ok, listened to more tracks to see if this was a widespread issue, still can't quite stand it. Her voice. It grates. And the production is really, really shallow. And not in a good way.

Wow, I am so not feeling this. At all. It’s pretty terrible.

That’d be, “When Doves Cry”…

Uhh… this is a direct rip-off of Prince’s “When Does Cry.” Right? Am I crazy???

@Maura Johnston: It was, it was. But the bitchy part of me was hoping that Lil would say something more incendiary.

Wait. Don't men only have a falsetto?

Either way, this song is the jam.

La Roux is a duo, actually. Which makes me draw the obvious (?) parallel to Yazoo.

Also, grab their "Fascination", it's probably even better than "Quicksand".

This song is unstoppable. I hope it gets a domestic push.

@Varina: It was a very... cheeky admission of love, no?
