Editorial Reviews
Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. Grammy-winning and Brit and Mercury-Prize-nominated artist La Roux returns with her first new material in five years. From the cover to the contents, this is unequivocally the album Elly always wanted to make - a claim that with some artists might ring alarm bells, but in this instance simply means that Supervision sounds precisely, unmistakably, gloriously like La Roux.

Now, another five and a half years has elapsed and she expects to use the La Roux moniker to continue, but, again, it's been another lifetime in pop music land. Additionally, "Supervision" doesn't have any strong singles. It's also quite repetitive and lacking in musical ideas. By the time I got through the final track, the songs blended together rather than stood apart from one another. The sound she employs here is lo-fi 80's Grace Jones "My Jamaican Guy"/David Bowie "Let's Dance" era. This isn't her strength. She belongs front and center in front of stacks and stacks of synthesizers. She is Kraftwerk, Human League, OMD, Howard Jones, Thompson Twins, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Yaz, Thomas Dolby, Eurythmics, not what she is trying to become now.
I was disappointed with this new album, and this new musical direction because it doesn't play to her strengths as an artist. She may feel she is making music that is more aligned with who she really is now, but I'm not feeling it. This music felt thin, and as if it all were a demo made in her bedroom with little production and engineering.
All this being said I guess I liked "Automatic Driver" (third single), "International Woman of Leisure" (first single) and everything else was a toss up. Given the fact that the two songs I found to be the strongest were already released as singles says that whomever is picking the singles must feel the same way about this album. The other single from the album "Gullible Fool" is seven minutes long and just mediocre.
If you want to listen to an 80's album that is only 8 songs long, but everyone a winner, look no further than Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life" (1986) and "Roll with It" (1988). Every song counts, and they all don't sound alike. Heck, I'll even give credit to David Bowie's triumphant pop return, "Let's Dance" (1983) which is also 8 songs.
I don't know how an artist comes in with a cutting edge, but retro debut, and then does a musical about face, committing commercial suicide, and calling her 'true calling' or 'true self'.
Here's how "Supervision" compares to La Roux's other works:
2009 La Roux: Four Stars
2014 Trouble in Paradise: Three Stars
2020 Supervision: Three Stars

Fast forward to this album and at first I wasn't sold. What was needed was more volume!
Having played the album several times now I'm hooked. It's a bit repetitive at times but that funky beat and Ellys voice are so addictive and it's just a great, fun album. Elly keeps the album lean and not over produced giving it that nice raw edge so beloved of the original album. Some might argue that it may sound a bit sparse and simplistic but it's the sound world I expect from La Roux and creating such a big sound without all the over production must be very difficult. As much as I enjoyed the second album it was a bit too commercial for me, no doubt a fault of the record company rather than Elly. Maybe she should re-record Trouble in Paradise her way.
Anyhow I recommend this for any La Roux fan or anyone needing some good old fashioned funky synth sounds. Welcome back Elly, you've been very much missed in this world of musical wallpaper and X factor dross. I do hope we don't have to wait another six years for more.
