BACKGROUND (short intro to the interview):
In a recent interview with Elly Jackson – or one half of “La Roux” as she’s better known, we discuss:
- fan support/reaction to her since her last Canadian visit
- the Mercury Prize (eg, her nomination, it preceeding the CD release in Canada, what she thinks of the prize….)
- meeting Ben (the other half of La Roux)
- her french heritage and trips to France
- her major major love of 80s music + those current bands she’s into
- the long slog to complete their self-titled CD, what she did in between working on it, the tough times & low periods, and the event that changed everything.
