One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums of 2009, La Roux's "I'm Not Your Toy" song + video is a perfect example of the duo's mastering of the 80s synth pop sound and attitude --this time with a less moody, more fun vibe. Singer/synth player Elly Jackson, with her trademark Flock of Seagulls-lite cockatoo hairstyle, emerges from a pool like an androgynous siren set on bewitching a group of retro-yet-futuristic Caribbean hoi polloi. It's like a Minority Report pool party in that crazy lady's greenhouse, with Elly as a singing pre-cog in a sweet white pant suit. The backup dancers (!) are the shit and we finally get to see Ms. Jackson smile, albeit briefly.
Head on over to La Roux's site to get tickets.
