La Roux's Elly Jackson has admitted to Xfm that there are some 80s influences on the duo's debut album. No, really. I know, I didn't believe it either. Crazy, isn't it? Actually, she has recently been saying in interviews that her music doesn't sound that much like 80s acts like, say, Yazoo, so while it's maybe not a revelation, it is at least a step away from delusion.
Anyway, Jackson said: "I think it'd be quite weird if I said, 'Really, do you think it sounds 80s, that's a bit mad isn't it? I thought it was jazz-funk'. Yeah, of course it is. But hopefully with a modern tinge".
So that's that cleared up then.
