"Bulletproof," which wasn't surprising as La Roux was on stage performing it. The inescapable earworm had pervaded a post-iPod/pre-streaming music culture at just the right time, when mainstream pop was still newly obsessed with big club sounds. It remains La Roux's signature track, one that's emblematic of a very different period of Elly Jackson's career, before she split with collaborator Ben Langmaid., five years after La Roux's eponymous debut.
Well, I definitely didn't want to take that time. I think between the first and second album, I could have come up with a lot of reasons why I wanted to sort of be away from everything and why maybe subconsciously or consciously I spent a lot of time hidden in the studio after the first album. I think there were lots of emotional reasons why that happened as well as practical issues, and relationships breaking up and stuff like that.
Well, hopefully you can hear the way it's changed the music. I spent five years slightly moaning aboutand a lot of my friends were like,"Why are you so down on that record? It's a great record. What's the problem?" And I was like,"I'm not sitting here getting myself down saying I think it's shit or anything like that. I know it's a really good record.
There's something nice about changing things and getting to grips with them vocally more, and there's also something I think that can often be taken away. As an artist, I'm wary not to change things too much because it's those little changes that you think are just little changes that then later on down the line you find fans going,"Oh, I wish you sang it how you used to." Do you know what I mean? So I'm always very aware of that as well.
Which I don't think people quite get sometimes. Arrangement, for me, that is the reason I make music. It's not because I can write a song, but that's just an excuse to make tracks. I like to make soundscapes, landscapes, emotional scapes, whatever you want to call them, and until I make the right scape that inspires me to write a song, there is no song. It's not like I write songs and then I write a landscape to go behind them. It's not like that never happened.
Maybe I'll look like I've got crap ideas or like I'm losing my mind or being delusional for three days with something, but then eventually I know exactly where I'm going, and I think it's that conviction that's really made a huge, huge difference of my process, however mad it looks to somebody else, it being right for me, and I shouldn't have to explain it to anybody else and it shouldn't have to make sense to anybody else. It only has to make sense to me.
"Having however many millions of streams is not amounting to the same as 'Bulletproof' having sold two million copies."
