La Roux Singer Elly Jackson Comments On Little Boots Album

• 6th Aug 2009

La Roux's Elly Jackson has admitted that she sympathises with her fellow electropop star Little Boots because of the tremendous hype surrounding her.

Jackson said the media had over-hyped the artist to the point that she will be considered a failure if she doesn't have a bestselling record.

Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “The reaction she got was so unfair. Hype can be a very dangerous thing, it can accelerate people's expectations.

“We felt the same about our album but we have got away with it.”

La Roux's self-titled debut was held off the top spot by Michael Jackson last month but the duo's second single 'Bulletproof' reached number one in June.
