Overview
LA ROUX have revealed that they could soon be collaborating with Heaven 17.
The electropop duo said the 80s band were a massive influence behind their synth sound and have been holding talks with them about working together.
Speaking to the Daily Star, singer Elly Jackson said: "Glen Gregory, the lead singer with Heaven 17, heard I was a fan and has been in touch. We email each other a lot.
"We finally met at an awards do recently, he's lovely.
"Greg and Ben are going to meet up to have a coffee and discuss some things. We'll see what happens."
But Jackson, the daughter of Bill actress Trudie Goodwin, then went on to criticise acts who collaborate with others on their debut albums.
She said: "I find it a bit unfocused of artists to collaborate with people so early on.
"It's strange to me that some bands' first albums are recorded with ten different artists.
"You end up thinking: 'Well, what have you actually done here?'"
