In 2009, La Roux hit the mainstream with her pop hit, "Bulletproof." Nearly a decade later, the singer opens up about the pressure to follow up the single and how she has adapted the song to reflect where she is now in life.

Really glad I chose to look into her more. She is far, far more than a one trick pony and it's incredibly admirable that she changed her big hit around to reflect her growth as an artist. Mad respect for her and I'll be following her from here on out.

She made Supervision at the kitchen bench in her house with an old laptop and a guitar (primarily) because the industry had treated her like crap for ages. She’s worked bloody hard to get away from being manipulated and pigeonholed and the fact that she’s still making music is a testament to her character. The fact that Supervision is retrospective and mostly cheery is incredible. Appreciate it for far more than what it sounds like. Actually, appreciate it for that, too, because it’s got some wonderful hooks and melodies. It’s a damned sight more mature than Bulletproof. And she’s got enough respect for her fans to still play it in a live setting.

I miss Elly Jackson and La Roux in general, had no idea she was 17 at the time and was crushing hard, altough I am only 2 years older I feel weird now with that knowledge.Literally to the point I used a website AI to show what our children would look like and posted it as well as some multipost combo images all over some 4 website or something. But upon further review the song was released in 2008 and she was born in 1988, huh? I know my way around audio production software, and would love to have you on the radio again, forget the prior statements. Have contacts with some artists that are top 10 billboard currently, cant guarentee they'd collab but can put out the line for such. X @GibraltarWhite is my throwaway.

Stellarspace who cares. Still plenty of talented people in this world that don't have 'hits'. I'll follow Elly and her ventures as La Roux for her lyrics, her artistic abilities with media & music videos and her honesty about the industry she works in. There is so much more to artists, as people.

That’s the point. She didn’t want to be this pop, megastar. She doesn’t care about releasing hits or dominating the charts. You should really clean out your ears and listen to what she’s saying before you leave another stupid comment.
