ALBUM SPOTLIGHT:

Supervision - La Roux (2020)

Such a stellar and deeply underrated album front to back - it’s been out for 3 years and I still listen to it on repeat. It’s Elly’s signature synthpop sound that pays homage to the 80s with added groove that incorporates funk and disco elements and even some reggae influence, and it goes so damn hard. Smooth, addictive, retro-flavoured beats will have your feet tapping and head nodding over and over. Since the days of her iconic songs ‘Bulletproof’ and ‘In For The Kill’ in 2009, her sound has truly been honed and refined, and her personal growth, strength and self-assurance as a person and artist is fully reflected in Supervision. Elly said in 2019 that the last song on the album ‘Gullible Fool’ is the most meaningful, important track on the list and one she feels she’s needed to write her whole life.

Baby, I know that it's hardest to fight

When finding somebody that slips in your mind

I don't like it, I don't tell you, but deep down inside

I'm fighting my body, but please don't ask why

I was 21 and I was like, ‘I’ve only just realised I’m in love with my best mate, can you f***ing chill out? Can you leave me alone?’ I wasn’t ready to be on a pedestal of like, ‘I represent all gay people.’ I just wasn’t ready to say that. People made out like I was really backwards about it, but if we have to state it, it’s almost like having to state that you’ve got a disease or something. I swear to God, labelling yourself creates segregation. It drives me mad. The gay community are dying for you to label yourself, and I’m so confused as to how they think that’s helpful. It’s where I’ll always have friction with some part of the gay community, even though I’m a f***ing gay person. How does that make any sense?
