In for the kill - La Roux


The next CD cover I am going to analyse is 'In for the kill' by La Roux released on the 16th of March 2009.
La Roux are an English electropop duo made up of Eleanor Kate Jackson, and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Eleanor Jackson says the song is about telling somebody how you feel about them regardless of what you get back. This could explain why Eleanor who is featured on the Cd cover is dressed like an assasin who are typically not afraid to do anything. The CD cover also links into the 1980s TV program Pole Position which the song is partially based on. Elements of this included in the CD cover include being dressed in a spy outfit and featuring a Toyota MR2 the main car used in the TV show. Like the David Guetta album the name of the artist is clearly displayed in white to make it stand out and the title of the album cover is displayed is smaller font which like said before in the David Guetta album could signal it of being less important than the artists name. The dark background with the city lights could be used to try and link into the name of the title which uses the word kill this background expresses the feeling tthat someone is going to get hurt which combindes to the fact most bad things happen in the night.
