La Roux front man Elly Jackson is making a bold statement by saying "Synth music is over." The singer, who is best known for having hits like "Bulletproof" and "In for the Kill," tells Spinnermusic.co.uk "I don't want to make synth music for the rest of my fucking life. It was a time when I was into that, but whatever, it's done with, it's gone. The whole genre is so over. It was my thing and I'm bored with it. If I see anything more '80s-themed, I'm going to bust." La Roux, who are currently working on the follow up to their breakthrough 2009 self-titled debut, says "I want [the next album] to be more human, more open, warmer." We spoke to Elly last year and she told us about the band's folk roots, you can read that HERE.
