Test the Spectral:ON at selected events this spring. We’ll let the bike do the talking. canyon.com
LA ROUX Listen to your heart Singer Elly Jackson has overcome personal and professional strife to make a blazing comeback. Here’s her heartbreak playlist Eleven years ago, La Roux ruled the airwaves with synth-pop hits including Bulletproof or In It For The Kill. But then London-born singer Elly Jackson’s life took a series of unexpected turns including near-bankruptcy, a split with songwriting partner Ben Langmaid and then her record label, and relationship problems that piled on mental stresses and left her unable to make music. Now, she’s making a comeback with a new (third) La Roux album, Supervision – a “soundtrack to an optimistic future” – which provided a source of creative therapy for Jackson following those dark days. And when coping with heartache, these are her go-to songs… Supervision is out now; laroux.co.uk Ken Boothe Set Me Free (1968) Carly Simon Why (1982) Depeche Mode New Life (1981) Gerry Rafferty Right Down The Line (1978) ANDREW WHITTON MARCEL ANDERS “I love every version of this song [better known as You Keep Me Hangin’ On]. It’s been covered so many times, including the [1986] one by Kim Wilde. But I love reggae, and this is a really good reggae cover of it. Obviously it’s called Set Me Free, so I think it’s fitting if you’re trying to get over someone. Have I tried that myself? Yeah, loads of times.” “This song is much better than [Simon’s 1972 hit] You’re So Vain. I’ve never felt that negative about the people I’m trying to get over. I’m like, ‘I love you. How do I stop thinking about you?’ But never, ‘Fuck you, bitch!’ It’s more like, ‘I think about you all the time, and now I’m thinking of songs that make me think about you even more.’ I usually end up with this one.” “This is a good one if you’re trying to move past that feeling. I wish it was on my album. Fucking great song. Depeche Mode were the main inspiration on my first album [2009’s La Roux]. Without [their 1981 debut] Speak & Spell, I don’t know if there’d be La Roux in the same way. And I still love that record. I think it’s incredible, so uplifting.” “My favourite song of all time. It’s such a shame people only know [Rafferty’s 1978 hit] Baker Street. They’re like, ‘It’s on the radio all the time, and it’s annoying because there’s that fucking saxophone solo again and again.’ But there’s so much more to him. Songs like these are my best friends – they’ve helped me through so many difficult times.” THE RED BULLETIN 17
