La Roux at Viktor & Rolf mens 2011, Paris
Off Topic
I don't really like the heavy hip-hop sounding kicks in La Roux's studio stuff, which sounds too much like Britney Spears or something, but this minimal sound is really nice. It sounds more authentic/vintage. I'm not sure how other vintage pop afficionados feel about this, but I can't get into the heavy bass kicks on steroids in all the electronic music these days. In hip-hop it makes sense, but it's also making its way into every other music genre. I mean I'm pretty sure hip-hop invented that punchy sound (which I think the heavy kicks are a part of) via the use of samplers, but it's everywhere now.
