"This time, Baby I'll Be Bulletproof" - LA Roux

@aaliyahfoster2705

3 жыл бұрын

Me when my ex-best friend sabotaged my career and I had to pick a new route.

As a massive La Roux fan, I feel like I should mention a couple of things that are missing. Elly lost her voice due to panic attacks and stress in between the first and second albums, which was part of the reason it took her so long to release the second despite the writing starting pretty early on and it being sung in her chest voice mostly. After that amazing album, she made an entirely new one with lots of collaborators before scrapping the whole project because it "was repeating the old mistakes" she made, like letting others take control over her ideas. Therefore, she decided to make Supervision, completing it in just four months as she "can now see everything clearly" but also doesn't need anyone else to tell her what her music should be. :)

Trouble in Paradise is one of my fav albums to this day it still rocks

Her third album is called Supervision, not Supernova!

I’m so happy you did a video on them. I’ve been waiting for this!

i love this series

I love La Roux's music to this day. Their second album was just as good as the first. Elly's third album Supervision, I thought, was a solid album. I didn't like it as much as the first 2, but it had some great songs. And the fact that she wrote, produced, sang, and played all the instruments for it is very admirable.

When I tell you I clicked so fast, I was literally waiting for someone to do a video on her. Bulletproof & For the kill I still listen to today 💖😌

La Roux has been one of my fave singers since 2009 yasss! I finally saw her in concert this February and she was AMAZING, it had been a dream of mine to see her live

I still listen to La Roux tropical chancer and let me down gently are some of my favorite songs

I LOVE Bulletproof. It is one of my all-time favourite songs from the 2000s. I put so many of my friends onto it and La Roux in general🔥

I ranked Trouble in Paradise in my top 5 albums of the 2010s.

omg i’ve been waiting for this video!

I had no idea this was a group I’m so glad you did a video cause this girl comes across my mind

La Roux’s self titled album was underrated. Colourless Colour will always be a BOP. Don’t even get me started on Bulletproof

La Roux was (a still is) my favorite female artist growing up. She really paved the way for me to get into pop and listen to music outside my comfort zone. I was obsessed with her and I think she is making wonderful music now like she did back then. That woman is very dear to my heart 🤍

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY DOING THEM I WAS A HUGE FAN

i wish you mentioned i'm not your toy, that was one of my favorite songs from that time period and i remember it being pretty successful too! cool video

Bulletproof was THE most repetitive annoying song back then 😂 and they would play it on the radio every 5 minutes.

Omg thank u for this video! I’ve been a huge La Roux fan since 2012 and to this day I still support all of her projects. Supervision (her latest 2020 album) is a BOP.

can you please make a video on lenka that every thing at once singer

This time baby I’ll beeeeee Bulletproof!

Bulletproof reminds me of my early college years soooo much. And driving around smoking weed with my friends. Great video 👏

keep up the good work with your videos !

She came out when I was a junior in high school. Miss her music , thanks for this

Bulletproof is still so chilling to me when I hear it it's literally goosebumps. Absolutely loved her 80s sharp look with fiery hair. I wish the best for both of them in the future with whatever they venture into.

The title of this video triggered me back to 8th grade when my friend and I sang “Bulletproof” for the talent show. I am very uneasy But “I’m not your toy” was a BOP

I was subscribed to you on my old account and I’m so glad I remembered to sub again when I created my new one! I’m the one who commented on the monotone ‘certified bop’ and got a heart :)

I still love Bulletproof to this day. I wish they put out more hits. They would have dominated the pop scene. 💥

When I was 18 (almost 11 years ago) I listened to her CD on repeat.

The song bullet proof began playing in my head, so I searched the lyrics and wound up here, I didn't even know the song was viral on tiktok a few years back because I wasn't on it! This song was played almost everywhere I went as a kid!

*BRUH!* i deadass randomly thought of their song "bulletproof" the other day & this pops up on my feed omg lol that song was played 24/7. after all these years it's still lit AF & makes you happy #CLASSIC! #goodtimes

Omg I love La Roux!

I’m glad she’s working somehow still. She seems really true to her art and just really laid back. Can you do one of these on Tweet?

Supervison is so 90's. I can't stop listening.

I loved her music as a kid. Still listen to her stuff.

Im happy she is getting noticed by new listeners on Tik Tok. It gets word out about her music but all trends die out on there so she wont skyrocket into popularity again. Its nice and she likes the memes as she posts them on her facebook.

Honestly love finding out what happened to my old favorite artists I lost touch in 💕

La Roux, Ladyhawke, Little Boots - the 3 of them in 2010s were ingenius and underrated, perfect for making the top hits radio listenable at last, but they didn't make it. Tigerlily and Colorless Colour (and open my eyes maybe too) were clearly the best songs, glad to hear it was her favs.

2009-2013 was such a great time for music. I miss Far East Movement and Cover Drive.

omfg such a throwback

bulletproof was honestly such a banger when i was a kid like turn that shit up i know ALL THE WORDS

I discovered “in for the kill” on the Bayonetta gamer commercial. And as a lover of Goth music and punk rock, new wave being a close cousin of the genres, makes total sense why I like la roux. Synth pop us also a relative genre.

Okay I dont like this video 1. La Roux took breaks between the albums because her voice got messed up 2. Supervision, not supernova

I remember listening to bulletproof for the first time while ice skating! Crazy to think that was over a decade ago

Omg i was literally thinking about la roux and what happened to her like last week! I was walking to work and ‘in for the kill’ popped into my head outta nowhere and made me wonder where she went so THANKS for this vid! 😁

Still love her music!! I'm not your toy and kiss and not tell are my loves

Literally she was all I would listen to in 7th/8th grade. I love almost every song on her album.

Nothing, she is still around. Fabulous as ever

I’m not kidding, I wanted to ask if you could make a video about her because I got back into her music again! Crazy coincidence

The amount of inaccuracies in this is ridiculous.

I heard her for the first time when she performed on Ellen. Still listening to Bulletproof and In For The Kill all these years later.

i have a vivid memory of watching the bulletproof music video on mtv in the morning before school and i remember being absolutely mesmerized by elly because i had never seen an androgynous person before in my life (i was 8 at the time). i asked my older cousin if it was a boy or a girl and he said she was a lesbian. that was also my first time hearing the word lesbian. cut to now and i'm a lesbian, so shout out to elly for being my gay awakening lol.

I only know the song Bulletproof, which is an amazing song. I don't have tiktok, but glad it seems to be bringing back some hits people forgot about like Hip Hop Harry. I found that very amusing

La Roux was the soundtrack to my days in retail. That whole first album is actually bop after bop.

I listen to all of her music to this day because that's what she'd want. For people to just listen and enjoy it all. She doesn't need to be in the spotlight; and that's OK for any artist.

One of their newer songs was playing at my work today

La Roux first album was actually memorable, it makes sense that artists think and perceive their work different from their fanbase. You simply grow out of the old stuff you created in the past and redefining yourself is insanely hard because people have a image of you based on the past music.
