The above magazine advertisement is for La Roux's eponymous debut album. With regards to genre and audience the advertisement uses the conventions synonymous with dub-pop and alternative musicians. The simple photography and use of dark colours accentuate the "no gimmicks" demeanour associated with our genre of choice - this is reinforced further by displaying the critical acclaim the album received - concluding that the artist may be more interested in critical acclaim as opposed to commercial success - meaning that dub-pop artists cater to a very niche audience and market.
