She's just not cheesy enough for today's charts... This "over-saturated", almost distorted sound with all the synthpop elements is soooo cooool but it's just not simple enough, compared to today's sh*tty pop music.

I'm the obsessor Holding your hand It seems you have forgotten About your man Alone in the darkness My bed's a different land Your touch intensifies And I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You're the upsetter Stroking my hand What's my position? I don't understand Am I your possession? Am I in demand? Oh, when you turn to me I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand I'm in the quicksand You, you moved into to my mind again, oh You, walking around rent free, oh Oh, I can't let you stay But I'm walking on broken ground again Oh, when will I learn? All you do is push me back in the dirt Oo-oo-oo-oo Oo-oo-oo-oo Aaah, Aaah I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand oo-oo-oo-oo I'm in the quicksand

My favorite song of La Roux

Her eyes are gorgeous!!

ok that thumbnail is fucking beautiful

Retro, original and loving it ✨

One of my favourite songs from la roux

I love it she is so beautiful

A nice video tribute to Maurice Binder :) Would have fitted in perfectly as the opening sequence to one of those retro James Bonds.

such a brilliant song I love La roux so much😍I adore their first album x

I love this summer vibe the video gives, the sensuality and the mystery woven in her looks and her glance, I love it!!

That hair tho

I LOVE LA ROUX!

i heard this song when i was 12-13 years old, still love this till now, awesome song

This remembered me of high school

Amazing music, lyrics, vocal and visual imagery. Subtle but deeply sensuous. Love it❤️

This would of made a really good starting credit sequence to a bond movie

I really like the catchy/cheesey synthesizer 80's sound this artist creates....80s paved the way for ALOT of these New bands that are ranked genius.....

This album is a synth pop masterpiece ❤

Love this song 😍😍😍 need more information

One of my favorite female artists ever.

the "am i in demand" bit is just amazing vocals.

I just love the sound of her voice

As well as loving her songs, I'm fascinated by her high concept videos. They aren't thrown together like some artists' videos seem to be. The one for Bulletproof is absolutely stunning.

First I find this young lady attractive and only shallow muppets judge a person on how they look. A number have compared her music to 80's. I watched an interview on her and the band and they are totally influenced by 80's music and are trying to reproduce that sound. Having been a teen of the 80s , No wonder I have finally found a group who have a decent sound compared to all these TV talent wannabes who have learn t no craft. The greatest groups in the world did not come from this TV crap of today. Rolling stones, Beatles, ABBA, Queen, U2 etc.

VengD The interview was not actually about her group. It was about a part of an area she grew up in that I was familiar with and the subject of her band came into it and how it was influenced.
