Deadliest of synths

As pictures of Rihanna rubbing her clitoris circulate throughout the net, we thought it would have been appropriate to give her the "treatment" and write something about her such as previewing a new song, etc. Unfortunately, nudity really doesn't help in making an artist's discography more appealing, as we found out while listening to her shitty albums. Instead, we'd rather waste our time talking about one of the best things to ever happen to music, namely La Roux.

Lead singer Elly has such a deliciously shrill voice that makes everything utterly listenable. Her vocals sound piercing and sharp, and to some extent "tinny", but that works in her favour of course. And the music, oh the music. It's best described as spectacular and very, very synth.

As you can hear clearly in the above clip, La Roux is basically genius. So far every single song they've put out have been nothing short of amazing, and "I'm Not Your Toy" is a great example of that. The synthesizers are perfect, the lyrics are adorable, and her vocals are lovely.

As debut single "In For The Kill" hit #2 and is still in the Top 10, the astounding second single "Bulletproof" has been pushed back for a mid-June release. And following this, their self-titled debut album will be out on the 29th of next month (simply put, a decade away from today).

PS: We're almost a hundred percent sure Chris Brown leaked those pictures by the way. That hilarious woman-beater.
