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.

It is a wonderful, warm album. I love the laid back but yet funky vibe. La Roux is always growing and different sound for each album. It is great to see an artist do something different than all the cookie cutter pop albums of today. I love her work.

Well, La Roux is a case of too little, too late, I'm afraid. Eleanor Jackson and producer Ben Langmaid made a pretty good debut in 2009 with "Bulletproof" on it. Now, Ms. Jackson is complaining that's all she's known for, and that she didn't intend to sound like 80's synthpop. So, before their second album, Ben Langmaid left. The second album, "Trouble in Paradise" (2014) wasn't as good, and it came five years after their debut, which in pop music land is a lifetime. No one even paid attention in 2014. La Roux had been forgotten in the USA as a one-hit-wonder. To this day, La Roux only has one hit, "Bulletproof" in the USA.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars La Roux is back with... a whimper, not a bang, but a really good one
Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2020
This is La Roux's most low-key and "chill" album so far. Instead of having instantly likeable pop singles, it requires a couple of listens to get into the grooves. But once they hit you, you won't be able to stop listening, and dancing. The production is just perfection, especilly where the songs have very long instrumental outros. Overall I'm so glad for her to be back with an album I like only very slightly less than Trouble in Paradise (her best so far).

Bin positiv überrascht. Die Sängerin hat sich weiterentwickelt und trotzdem ist sie unverwechselbar . Die Musik ist leichter , der Funkystyle macht die Sache tanzbar und gibt gute Laune.

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome back Elly. Great, funky, fun album and a breathe of fresh air.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 10, 2020
I first got into La Roux after seeing Elly perform at Maida Vale studios on the red button along side Little Boots and the legends Gary Numan and Heaven 17. That was a few years back. I loved the first album and have been a fan ever since. Myself being nearly 50 It's not easy getting into modern music but La Roux is modern nostalgia!
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.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2020
Wow! I’ve been a huge La Roux fan since day one - this album is awesome it has everything I love but it’s so fresh and - I don’t know I’d this is the right work but ‘simple’? The songs are faultless and they lyrics are really strong - sitting on this amazing music. It’s such a mix of musical references but at the same time so ‘uncomplicated’. It’s a really, really strong record - I love all her albums, but this is probably my favourite. One thing is it’s quite short - you want to listen to it it over and over and for me that’s is the sign of a great record.
