- Le yayiyeyesithathu engatshatanga ukukhutshwa yi-duo yaseLondon ye-electro-pop i-La Roux kwi-albhamu yabo yokuqala enesihloko.
- Umculi uElly Jackson uchaze le ngoma kwiBBC Newsbeat Inkqubo: 'Kum iBulletproof imalunga nokujonga imeko edla ngokuphinda yenzeke. Inokuba yinto yokwenza nantoni na ebomini bakho - nantoni na ofuna ibe yiyo. Andikuthandi ukuba ncakasana malunga nokuba imikhondo yam imalunga na kum kuba ayiyonyani malunga nalonto. Isebenza injongo yayo kum kwaye xa sele uyibeke eluntwini - iba yile nto nabani na afuna ibe ngayo. Kodwa yinto nje engacacanga malunga, ukuqonda ukuba kukho imeko eyenzeka kwakhona ebomini bakho, into ehlala isenzeka kuwe okanye ehlala ikunqonqoza. Into ongenakukwazi ukuyigqitha. Imalunga nokuya kuwe, 'Hayi, andisayi kuphinda ndiyenze le nto kum kuba ayilunganga kum kwaye ndiza kuba yimbumbulu'.
- UJackson uxelele Newsbeat malunga nokusabela kwakhe okokuqala kwividiyo egqityiweyo, apho abhalwe kwiimpahla zeFashini ePhakamileyo: 'Ndibone inguqulelo egqityiweyo kwiveki ephelileyo kwaye ndiyayithanda. Ndiyayithanda inyani yokuba ayizizo-'80s - yayiyiloo nto bendiyifuna kule vidiyo. Andifuni ukuba yonke ividiyo kunye nayo yonke into ukusuka apha ukuya phambili ibe ngumxholo we-80s ophindaphindiweyo. Bendingafuni nje ukubonwa njengegcisa lemvuselelo ye-80s kwaye ibibaluleke kakhulu kum kule vidiyo. Yividiyo elunge kakhulu, yangoku, ebukekayo - ngaphandle kokujonga eMelika kakhulu kwaye ibaluleke kakhulu.'
- Le yayiyi-UK yokuqala yeLa Roux #1. Yaqala kwindawo ephezulu kwiveki yokusweleka kukaMichael Jackson, ngoko ke kwakufanelekile ukuba uJackson, kulo mzekelo uElly, athathe inxaxheba kwingoma yokuqala yeveki.
- UJackson uxelele i-BBC Radio 1 ukuba le ngoma yanceda ukubanga i-duo irekhodi labo. Wachaza ukuba bayibhala, 'ngaphambi nje kokuba sidibane nomphathi wethu kwaye yayiluhlobo lwethu lokutywinwa kwesivumelwano, ndicinga ukuba.'
- UJackson uthi iingoma zothando kufuneka zisondele ngendlela eyahlukileyo ukuze uphumelele. Wacacisa: ''Bulletproof' yingoma yothando eyahluke kakhulu. Enyanisweni, yingoma yobudlelwane malunga nokudinwa - ukudinwa kukuziphatha ngolu hlobo, kunye nokuzivumela ukuba ndiphathwe ngolu hlobo. Ithi andisayi kuphinda ndiyenze le nto, okanye ndenze kwa iimpazamo ezifanayo. Kube kuhle kakhulu kubafazi abasuka nje bahlukane namadoda, okanye abafazi abazimeleyo. Ifana nengoma yam yoMntwana kaDestiny, ndiyaqikelela.
Ndikhumbula igqwetha lam lisithi i'Bulletproof' ibiyinto entle kuye. Ndabuza ukuba kutheni, kwaye wathi wohlukana nentombi yakhe, kwaye ubudlelwane babo bebuhlala buqhubeka. Kuyabonakala ukuba, 'iBulletproof' yayiyingoma yabo okwethutyana.' - UJackson ukholelwa ukuba ingundoqo yokubhala ingoma kuye, 'kungekhona nje ngokubhala amazwi kunye nomculo, yinto yonke.' Ucacisile: 'Asisoze sibe ngomnye wamaqela abhala iingoma ezili-100 emva koko akhethe ezona zilishumi. Ukuba siqala ingoma kwaye asiyithandi emva kwesiqingatha seyure, asibuyeli kuyo. (Iqabane laseLa Roux) UBen akafuni nokundivumela ukuba ndifake isingqi esifanelekileyo de siyibhale ingoma. Ungasoloko uxela ingoma emnandi, nokuba ikwesiphi na isimbo, ngokuba ungasithatha na isiginkci, okanye ukhwele ipiyano, usidlale.
'Bulletproof' ngumzekelo omhle. Sayiqala, kwaye yaziva imnandi kakhulu. Saba nendinyana emnandi, emva koko senza malunga neekwayala ezintlanu. I-lyric yahamba 'Ngeli xesha ndiza kuba ...' kwaye kwakukho i-gap eninzi. Besihleli sobabini apho kuthulekile iminyaka sizama ukuyilungisa. Ngequbuliso, sobabini sajonga phezulu saza sathi 'Kwesi sihlandlo, mntwana' saza sacinga, 'Ewe, masiyihlise.' Ndiyakhumbula ukuba xa sibhala oko, sacinga 'Biza umphathi, sinayo.'
(Ezi zicatshulwa zimbini zingasentla zithathwe kwi Izincoko ze-Ivor Novello ipapashwe ngo basca.org.uk/ ). - UElly Jackson akazange ayithande loo nto Inethiwekhi yeFox Business idlale ingoma ngo-2018 ukwazisa icandelo malunga nokusetyenziswa kwempahla engangenwa ziimbumbulu ukukhusela abantwana besikolo ekudutyulweni kwabantu abaninzi. Watsho Ifolokhwe ukuba imela kakubi ngokupheleleyo isikweko esicetywayo sengoma:
'Ukusebenzisa 'iBulletproof,' ingoma endiyibhale ngobudlelwane, icwecwe elifana neli lisikizi,' utshilo. 'Andizange, kwaye andinakuze ndivume ukuba umculo wam usetyenziswe ngolu hlobo.'
