Red Hot

Once in a while, a song will come along that I become so obsessed with, I put it on repeat. "Bulletproof" by La Roux is no exception. What may appear as a solo act is actually an electro pop duo, comprised of the band's red-headed namesake, Eleanor Jackson, and synth player/ writer/ producer, Ben Langmaid. La Roux's sound seems to echo the sounds of 1980's synth pop, as the pair is clearly influenced by acts like Depeche Mode and David Bowie.

They've been a big deal in the UK for a while now. Their single "Bulletproof" debuted at #1 on the UK Singles Chart. Other mentionables? "In for the Kill," "Quicksand," and "I'm Not Your Toy."

Just be warned-- the track is titled "Bulletproof," not "Mulletproof."
