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.
Same even now. Honestly I was a kid when these were super popular and I love them and the nostalgia is immense. I don’t just listen for that obviously though
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
I think she's gorgeous. It's that kind of androgynous look, not everyones cup of tea. If she was more conventional she wouldn't stand out half as much though
2 years ago, Elly announced that she was working on her 3rd album. I think I saw sonewhere it was meant to be released this February, so it might be some months late or just in a year or more.
Walffle Militello the second album was disappointing. She went for pop drivel rather than the emotionally deep and passionate talent expressed in her first album.
She is at the same time a woman and a child Confident and vulnerable Innocent and sophisticated A novice and experienced Caught in the middle she invents herself and catches us all off guard What a beautiful confusion I'm addicted
I'm an old dude, but I liker her because she reminds me of Molly Ringwald from my generation. I hope she makes it BIG, the talent is there , I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like this music.!
Love this song. Probably my favorite from La Roux. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I don't feel like I'm female or male. I don't belong to the gay or straight society, if there is such a thing. I feel like I'm capable of falling in love with other people. I'm not saying I'm bisexual, I'm just sexual!"
How this was recorded: In a a studio with green screen. Added some sand on the floor, a nice dancer, a blanket and a sheet. Also very good looking clothes and the fantastic Elly Jackson singing. =)
I remember it was about 2007 , 2008 , i was in extra vision and saw her first album ,, I really liked the cover art ,, that's really the only reason I bought it lol ,, I got home and put it on and absolutely loved it ,, she was so fresh at the time
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.....
+WeaponCollector I don't exactly see it but I understand a connection. James Bond personified all that was MOD and cool in that time period. 60s- to early 70s
I am indeed a little late to the La Roux train. I remember bulletproof of course faintly at primary school and i only just thought" oh that song! She has a great voice wonder what she's up to now" been listening to all your tracks for weeks now. Have to say ill be hooked for a while. Your words most of all have really helped me to understand emotions. I hope i can make it to one of your future live performances:) thank you for your art.
Can we all agree that this album was WAY ahead of its time? She's so talented.
Fr Best song in this Genre!😄
From now you mean? because music these days is fucking garbage and basic production.This album sounds something from 3000
One of my favorite albums ever.
The album of its time.
Yeah, I love almost every song at one point or another. An album I could listen all the way through, which is rare.
I had forgotten how good this whole album was. La Roux is so underrated and so much better than most people on the charts today.
punta del obelisco
She's brilliant
I feel the same way 🎼
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.
La Roux's music is so underappreciated; I wish she'd come back
Ikr
I have good news for you :D
New Year Jools Holland Hootenanny performance was brilliant
She's back!
And she did 💙
2024 and still an absolute Classic Banger of a track ❤
I am so grateful for La Roux's music! She's so awesome and always gets me dancing ❤
Oh 80's Gods, thank you for influencing somebody talented and bringing us back good music!
Oh my, Elly is just captivating in her androgynous beauty. I've loved La Roux since those first tracks came out 6 years ago. I would love to meet her.
new album coming out july 7 and she just released a new single called "Let me down gently".
Same even now. Honestly I was a kid when these were super popular and I love them and the nostalgia is immense. I don’t just listen for that obviously though
What's androgynous in her beauty? Ugliness? Lol
Me too I was a huge fan of Cyndi lauper in the 80s I've fallen for laroux
Wonder what she thinks about being called androgynous... Maybe she is a girly girl?
She is merely a human with a multi-faceted interest in all things beautiful. Learn to accept and love it.
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
Ty
good
Many of you so harsh on La Roux she is so GORGEOUS all around, and that voice, melt me like butter.
Ok its a she not tryin to be an asshole i just couldn't tell
Yes I strongly agree she is beautiful and that voice of hers Is absolutely amazing
That short hair... yeah she's pretty
She still looks great now as well she has a very distinct style
I think she's gorgeous. It's that kind of androgynous look, not everyones cup of tea. If she was more conventional she wouldn't stand out half as much though
I'll always love La Roux. I wish she was still making music, i swear.
Their new album comes out this year :)
@@NotDaveGahan damn you, I just read you comment and was excited for a moment before I realized that your comment is >4 years old lol
2 years ago, Elly announced that she was working on her 3rd album. I think I saw sonewhere it was meant to be released this February, so it might be some months late or just in a year or more.
yeah, it's a solo project now. MÅSTE BLI KLAR MED ORDNINGEN, INNAN KLOCKAN ÄR FEM. oh yeah that's swedish and is a revelation of the god Di Leva
F
Love to see her blinking her eyes because of the wind. So cute!
first time shes ever blinked!
She is cute. That hair is like a thousand suns. Love it! Her videos are always so creative.
I forgot how magical this song and album is 😍 beautiful 💖
This is in my top ten best songs and production...pure genius....impeccable....love xxx
Saw her live last night and she is totally amazing!!! Better than anyone else in this world her voice is just unique
I feel like this is La Roux's tribute to When Doves Cry. I like it :)
BADLUX very similar in spirit.
Totally
lol no
I hear it in the phrasing and the melody during the verse.
2016 and still loving them hhh
it's a shame they never got more popularity
Walffle Militello I've got a feeling their next album will pay off
Walffle Militello the second album was disappointing. She went for pop drivel rather than the emotionally deep and passionate talent expressed in her first album.
succ hecker they*
Rabbid The Nabbit is this confirmed or is this your tumblr headcanon
Rabbid The Nabbit dang nvm I googled it ur right
Welcome children-back to the 1980's.. What A decade you missed but this is a taste of it. .
AMEN!
Fantastic!! Truly underrated!! 80's synth-pop sound with a 21st century twist!!
still love this song

A good song is timeless.
The first album is my go to CD in my car, when I need cheering up on the way to work. I love laroux. Best electronic band ever xxxxx
Her beauty was understated
I love this summer vibe the video gives, the sensuality and the mystery woven in her looks and her glance, I love it!!
Her music has an 80's feel to it, and I'm pretty sure I love the 80's. *lots of synth*
She is really one of the early precursors of the "vaporwave" style if you think about it.
Kind of. She was sort of inspired by the same thing I guess 80s pop
Kinda. Yeah. 🤷🏾♂️
@@agdgdgwngo synthwave/ synthpop like your pet shop boys and your new order
literally has nothing to do sonically with vaporwave lmao
Correct
Listening in 2019 because good music is timeless! Looking forward to new material, Elly!
We want more La Roux!!!!
She is at the same time a woman and a child
Confident and vulnerable
Innocent and sophisticated
A novice and experienced
Caught in the middle she invents herself and catches us all off guard
What a beautiful confusion
I'm addicted
This is such a work of art and always has been. ❤
Elly is so talented and her music is original. I love it, it needs to be more appreciated. Her voice is beautiful and her music needs more attention
old school is the new school in her case and she's fabulous
She's a great artist, saw her in Boston a few years ago, AWESOME :-)
This whole album was bops
I'm an old dude, but I liker her because she reminds me of Molly Ringwald from my generation. I hope she makes it BIG, the talent is there , I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like this music.!
jheezzzzee that bit at the end 2:24 plus omg what a voice !!
Love this song. Probably my favorite from La Roux.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM IN THE QUICKSAND OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This beat go hard! But seriously, La Roux is the best pop artist America never had.
nah there been better
Yessssssss!!!

+JasnoGT calm down bro lol, you just made the thread go from 0 to 250 way too quick.
Your pretentiousness is obnoxious.

Wouldn't that be, like, omnisexual?
@@gyro2846 That's right. She meant it, but that term wasn't very popular in 2008
@@carolinaoliveira9302 she?? elly jackson still define the gender as a female?
@@awasadayangberaksembaranga1584 Probably
So the pronouns they identify with are They/Them?
SHE WOULD OF BEN WORSHIPPED AS GOD IN THE 80S I LOVE HER STYLE TAKES ME BACK SHES SO RELEVANT
I'm the obsesser holding your hand I love it and la roux was singing quicksand after she was lovely 💜💙💚😭🌴🍍
When Doves Cry
R.I.P. Prince
I knew it was hearing a Prince song underneath, but couldn't name it.
this better than prince tbh
i immediately started singing when doves cry in my head when the song started!
One of my favorite female artists ever.

True! And the awesome parrot, just sitting there looking into your soul. =)
And a fan
Real surreal cinematography on this video she is😊
i love this song so much! and i know this quicksand feeling but there is something i cant comprehend about it and its driving nuts, i remember now
This video is so 80's it hurts.
She's so beautiful
1:51 favorite part 👏
She has a 80s retro personality the music and the hair she tryna bring it back yall
If you here you have a good taste of music
Retro, original and loving it ✨

La Roux & Justin Bieber & Ed Sheeran & Shawn Mendes & Gavin Magnus
Os anos se passam e o meu amor por suas músicas só aumentam!
I think we all know someone in our life who does this to us - always playing with our hearts, never seeming to realize the effect they have on us.
I remember it was about 2007 , 2008 , i was in extra vision and saw her first album ,, I really liked the cover art ,, that's really the only reason I bought it lol ,, I got home and put it on and absolutely loved it ,, she was so fresh at the time
Such a well-made song. Makes my cheeks burn.
Which cheeks? 🤭
I love it she is so beautiful
My favorite song of La Roux
Ten years ago? Holy sh*t, time flies!
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.....
Her eyes are gorgeous!!
I LOVE LA ROUX!
Estou completamente apaixonado por essa música. Meu Deus, essa mulher é incrível
This song slaps and is underrated imo
Elly is the absolute best, can’t wait to see her tour with Chromeo in 2024 🤜🤛
I’ve loved this song 🍍
I wish la roux still made music
*****
Godspeed! It's been so long since they said they work for new album :(
***** its 2014 new album
WAIT WHAT
***** yeah they are releasing a second album, it says on their website
5 years later and I really do.
Love this song 😍😍😍 need more information
A nice video tribute to Maurice Binder :) Would have fitted in perfectly as the opening sequence to one of those retro James Bonds.
Yes, Damien I agree I just heart bulletproof..love it. Now, this one.. pretty rad.
yoooo!!! 2017 and it's still an amazing song!!!
Who here in 2024??
I was watching her in MTV back in 2009!! this song was on tops, and I was so happy after downloading it to my Nokia 5310 back then, what a memory
BEEN FUCKING WITH LA ROUX 7 YEARS STRONG
+ruggedboyuzi1425 I FUCKING LOVE LA ROUX
hell yeah, same here👏👏👏👏👏
same❤
been fucking with la roux
nice
IVE FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG. BY GOD YES.
she is absolutely pretty and also talented. Love you, Elly!
La roux was singing quicksand she was lovely 💜💙💚🎀💝🎇🍍💜💜💓💞🏐🍉🥵😪
Good song kinda reminds me of when doves cry
yay the new album! ^_^ its 2014!
Christian [blocked] I wish there was a new album now ;-;
She got mad skills and even as an American I can say God Bless Mother Russia for this national treasure.
I nearly had a stroke reading that. Glad you like the tunes, I guess?
This song makes me blush like crazy.
Amazing music, lyrics, vocal and visual imagery. Subtle but deeply sensuous. Love it❤️
la roux songs all sound very 80s
tis a good thing.
one might argue that they sound very British and the last time that we were deeply exposed to that in the states was in the 80s brit invasion
Hmm not this album, her last is a homage yes... And fun and great.
Yup. And Ladyhawke gives me 80's nostalgia too
Verry true
the 80s inspiration doe 😂
ok that thumbnail is fucking beautiful
tak, jest taka wyjątkowa, taka oryginalność może być bardzo piękna.
jej muzyka rządzi, bo inspirowana latami 80. a te były najlepsze...
That song made me just fall in love with La Roux. Sultry vixen just cast a spell on me.
Am I the only one who thinks this video looks just like a James Bond theme video?
Oh no you aren't. Me either
***** same here!
+WeaponCollector OMG right!?
+WeaponCollector La Roux should do a James Bond theme song, that would be great!
+WeaponCollector I don't exactly see it but I understand a connection. James Bond personified all that was MOD and cool in that time period. 60s- to early 70s
I'm doing what I call la rouxing where I listen to her for 100000000000 hrs
Abby Inman have you finished rouxing?
Her rouxing only get's stronger with every hour. Soon she will be beyond the comprehension we mere mortals.
imgur.com/RTgEZqb
No she hasn't which is why she hasn't replied xD
Same but I’ll never stop because she’s too talented
I so do that lol
классная певица ) !!!)
this album was the first i ever downloaded as a kid. ah memories.
Omg, Amazing song, i love you works La Roux, this song drop my cold heard. Tnx!
it´s so 80´s... reminds me of duran duran... brit pop is the best
Sounds like “ when the doves 🕊 cry “ from prince 🤴🏻
Right
Mixed with “push it”
she is imho a total babe, so 80's vibe...
I'm getting James Bond theme vibes from this video. La Roux is so underrated, this album is a masterpiece 👌🏻
Commenting in 2021 hoping she sees this and makes a comeback because people still love you nearly a decade later 😂
I love her music I'm a bass player and I love playing her music it's refreshing compared to all the trashy music out there
This would of made a really good starting credit sequence to a bond movie
That hair tho
its about time! I miss her!!! :)
