After five years, La Roux’s sophomore album titled Trouble in Paradise is now available to stream online ahead of its official July 21st release.
“I wanted to create something more special, to take myself up a level,” said singer Elly Jackson. “I also wanted to play pretty much everything as I did on the first record, but there was more complicated instrumentation this time, and it took me a while to get to grips with some of it.”
Jackson continues on to describe the concept both songwriter Ian Sherwin and herself connected strongly on, “which was the idea of what people in the ’70s thought the future would look and sound like.”
The album is a follow-up to La Roux’s 2009 self-titled debut album. It featured hit song “Bulletproof,” which became the duo’s first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, topping at number eight.
La Roux is set to tour the UK in November later this year, starting in Glasgow on the 5th and ending in Manchester Ritz on the 16th.
