Supervision


La Roux


English singer Eleanor “Elly” Jackson has had a
tumultuous few years since the 2014 release
of Trouble in Paradise, the second studio
album she recorded as synth-pop act La
Roux. However, she’s back, now established
as a solo act but still under the La Roux name,
with a generally well-received new album.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. La Roux was originally formed in 2006
    as a duo: Jackson and record producer
    Ben Langmaid.

  2. Their first – and self-titled – album La Roux
    arrived in 2009 to significant critical and
    commercial success, and produced the hit
    singles “In for the Kill” and “Bulletproof ”.

  3. Langmaid departed the group in 2014, but
    still contributed to some of the songs on that
    year’s Trouble in Paradise.

  4. In April 2015, Jackson revealed that she
    was working on a third La Roux album,
    but completely started over with it after a
    relationship breakup and breakdown in 2017.

  5. Three singles have been released from
    Supervision – the latest, “Automatic Driver”,
    on January 24.
