So what does everyone think of La Roux's new single "Bulletproof", the follow up to the number 2 hit single "In For The Kill"?

It's been on top of the download charts since Saturday, and is top of the midweek charts, so it is more than likely that it will be No.1 on Sunday.

What do you think of this piece of electro 80's style pop?

Love it. It's been added to my 'running' playlist because it gets me in an active mood.

It's taken a little while but i'm slowly coming round to La Roux . I thought at first they might be a 'flash in the pan' and then disappear, but they may have what it takes. The album is out Monday, I'll probably give it a go.

I adore the song. One of my favourite songs this year in fact. There's no way that It won't be #1 on Sunday because it is trouncing all competition right now. I downloaded it on Sunday night and it is already making its way up my '25 most played'. Fabulous tune.

Superyeah Review -
5 Stars/5 Stars *****
I thought In For The Kill was good, but this is just amazing.
I love the 80's beats and influences. It feels like I'm being transformed back to 1989.
Elly Jackson's voice has definately grown on me. I wasn't convinced at first, but her voice has grown on me. Her vocals are better on Bulletproof than In For The Kill.
I believe that Bulletproof will be a big summer hit and rightly so.
Catchy, infectious, enjoyable and great to listen to.

I absolutely adore her and the song. I think like many people to, it took me a while to kinda get used to her voice. When I first heard 'In For The Kill' I didnt know what to make of her. But then I heard Bulletproof which I thought was just amazing and my personal favourite 'Quicksand'. The previews of the albums tracks sounded wonderful so I just had to preorder the album. I can't wait. Im loving how they are bringing back the 80's and while still staying true to the era, they make it all sound very fresh and current.

I love it, almost as much as I love the fact that everyone so far in this thread has refered to La Roux as the correct "they" instead of "her"

Could this be a big hit? I personally believe it can - it's very catchy so if someone hears it for the first time they are likely to be hooked and buy it = sales = no.1.

I quite like it, I prefer it to In For The Kill anyway. Bulletproof is really catchy.

Still loving Bulletproof!
I think everyone should be downloading it so they can get them back at the top of the charts (where they belong). End Cascada's 1 week chart reign and replace it with BULLETROOF by the amazing La Roux!
