The band is TIGHT. kudos to the drummer and bassist. They have that whole thing moving ahead. Drummers are so cool. This guy just looks like he’s at work playing the the keyboard with pens in his cubicle. Laying down the beat for a live act of a huge star but it’s really no big deal. Looks cool doing it too. Also gotta mention the girl on synth doing all the backup vocals. She’s making this song rich af. Kudos to guitarist. Didn’t want him feeling left out. Oh wait. He did backup too. Damn. Lots of talent here.
I love how when you see a drummer that’s off in their own world but still somehow totally more aware of what’s going on than anyone. Those are the good ones.

Nile Rodgers, ultimately. He produced Bowie's Let's Dance album and I think Notorious for Duran Duran. La roux used his influence in the first two singles of their 2nd album. It's a great sound. This single should have been a much bigger hit.
I have no actual girlfriend and I permanently lust for Elly Jackson who doesn't communicate with me except by singing. What is this world and who fooled us?
@@Randomiett actually she came out as lesbian quite recently. but she kept it lowkey because she was afraid coming out would affect her career and the unwanted attention from lesbians being up all over her
Does anyone know exactly what Ellie is saying? I always interpreted it as "all the blue lights start to hit the crowd," signifying a police response against a heated protest/beginnings of a full-scale riot.
She sounds so much stronger live than the actual track which is actually a compliment to her vocal skills.

the drummer is on point

Trouble in paradise is her best album idc
Kinda indisputable. CRIMINALLY underrated. I get sad thinking about people not knowing this sheer perfectionism exists
I’m so glad she got such a big applause
Oh I’m so happy that made y glad
Back to the 80s. Love it.
Pop music at its finest ❤
Elly sounds so good, along with her band. Cannot believe they are not making music now.
I remember seeing this live and shouting, she has new music out!? Awesome...
Pearl watches you sleep Since 2014 lol...
She’s currently working on her third record.
Love the guitar riff. Live is amazing sound. So much fuller than the album.
Bloody hell, amazing performance.
What happened to her, she was massive in the UK, then just disappeared in an instant, I think she's amazing 👏 😍
She released a third album independently 😍 Its soo good!!

And won't you take me with you to
Where all the sirens are blowing?

05PtVxUI she said she is not a lesbian

You have the meaning correct. Though, it's "all the blue lights fighting with the crowds, and oh I know the temperature is rising."
It's a response to the London riots in 2011, apparently.
The reference about "changing shoes" relates to the looting of Footlocker stores during the 2011 riots.
Supppiiii.!!!!!
they are better in live!
Funky lil Lad🙄💃
your hair is offensively westward
Bananarama
Could you get a cooler band? >>>>>>>>>> No.
