Riff: La Roux – “Let Me Down Gently”

May 13, 2014

I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young, foolish and green/Let me in for a minute/You’re not my life but I want you in it

from Let Me Down Gently lyrics by La Roux

The comeback single for the duo that brought us the ubiquitous earworm “In for the Kill” are back with a lovelorn breakup ditty that understandably doesn’t quite have as catchy of a main melody, but the production is much improved. Hopefully the brosteppers leave this one alone, though; [LISTEN].
