Second single in the US
After just cracking the top ten with their breakthrough smash “Bulletproof”, British electropop act La Roux will follow up their American success with the release of “In For The Kill”; the second official US single from their self-titled debut.
The song was originally released internationally in March 2009, going Platinum in the UK and peaking at #2, while cracking the top forty in Australia and going Gold.
To date, “Bulletproof” has sold 862k in the US and reached #8 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the club charts, while the album has moved 73k. Worldwide sales for the album stand at about 600k.
It’s funny how America are just getting into La Roux when they are now well on their way writing and recording their next album.

Stupid. Way too shrill for radio. Guess they don't want another American hit, although I never thought in a million years that "Bulletproof" would go Top 10, so what do I know?

This and "Bulletproof" sound almost identical to me anyway. I'm not saying this will be a hit, because I think "Bulletproof" was a fluke anyway, but I think this one sounds no more or less US radio friendly than that one.

I kind of like this, but the vocals are AWFUL. She cannot sing.

I don't find this shrill, it's just very out-there even for the dance trend.

Flop. This is unlistenable, and I loved Bulletproof.

I think this was the obvious choice, and it did really well in the UK.
I think it'll be a moderate hit, not as big as Bulletproof

I think "Bulletproof" was an obvious hit, and should've caught on earlier here than it did. I also don't hear any similarities to "In For The Kill." It's melodic power-pop vs. Miss Piggy singing over a cheap 80's porn score. I wouldn't be surprised if they went with a radio edit of the "Lifelike" remix for the single, but I still think it'll flop miserably. |

This was never sent for adds, then again neither was "Bulletproof".

I was just about to ask if this even got an adds date.
I listened to the album a few times before getting bored. "Quicksand" or "I'm Not Your Toy" may have been a better single choices.
