    s, Supervision is some of Jackson's most consistent work, and hearing her have this much fun growing into her music -- and herself -- is infectious.

    There’s no doubt Jackson is gradually carving out a left-of-centre niche, with a retro sound that is cleverly evocative and curiously idiosyncratic rather than just derivative.

    Now a certified pop vet, La Roux returns with a work that translates the hard-earned lessons of the past decade into another collection of radio-ready dance-pop whose best tracks manage to sound timeless and topical at the same time. It’s an eminently listenable album, and her best shot in years at recapturing some of those triumphs for herself.

    On Supervision, Jackson is at her strongest, both sonically and vocally. She has, for lack of a better term, found her groove: from the pulsing disco rhythms on "Do You Feel" to the synthpop breakup anthem "Gullible Fool", La Roux is once again proving that there's still an audience and a market for music that is fuelled by nostalgic sounds.

    Feels like a decisive clean break. [Mar 2020, p.30]

    Despite the album’s lack of big splashes, it still lands like a trip to Florida in February. And at only eight-songs-long, it’s endlessly digestible. Snow, sleet and seasonal affective disorder may rage on, but Supervision is pure warmth.

    All songs have an ability to instantly capture you in their groove, with an irresistible temptation to tap your foot or bop your head along toAll songs have an ability to instantly capture you in their groove, with an irresistible temptation to tap your foot or bop your head along to the catchy beats without ever being too in your face. Each song builds with great progression and lyrics to match. There's a great tropical disco feel that makes the whole album sound like such a package. Full Review »

    Sorry but it's very dull and every song has the same backing track that's either mid tempo or a little bit faster. It's like the same songSorry but it's very dull and every song has the same backing track that's either mid tempo or a little bit faster. It's like the same song with different lyrics. I like 2 tracks. Shame really. Hopefully if another album is made it'll have some oomph. Full Review »
