La Roux Go 'In for the Kill' at the Chelsea Hotel -- Exclusive Video

By Michael D. Ayers Posted Oct 8th 2010 11:20AM

After quite a successful run with 'Bulletproof,' breakout UK synth-pop act La Roux are now taking a victory lap around North America with their latest single, 'In for the Kill,' the lead track from their 2009 eponymous debut album. In this exclusive video, singer Elly Jackson gives PopEater a sneak peak at the video for their latest single and reveals that these days, she's all about style.

"It was really difficult for me, because there was another video we made about a year-and-a-half ago here in the UK but we only had 5,000 pounds," Jackson says. "That's not very much money. People will say, 'Oh, I like the old one,' and we're completely aware of that and can accept that, but I've moved on and didn't really feel attached to that '80s thing, fashion-wise."

Shot at New York's infamous Chelsea Hotel, the new video for 'In for the Kill' has Jackson donning some incredibly tall hair and splashy make-up. She describes the setting as a "love hotel," but that shouldn't be confused with a house of ill repute. In fact, Jackson is dead-set on this being more about the aesthetic look than any sort of narrative. "There's not anything specific going on," she says. "It's very much about a color palate, a look, a genre and a certain type of fashion."

For an inside look at how 'In for the Kill' was made, watch the behind-the-scenes video below.
