Описание


As soon as she stepped out as La Roux, it all just felt right for Elly Jackson. The shock of red hair. The androgynous image. The yearning yet furious songs about love lost and gained. The catchy pop hooks, all wrapped up in quirky melodies that NME, early on, accurately described as ‘Let’s Dance’ era Bowie crossed with The Knife's edgy electro-pop. It was a perfect pop storm, with her first single ‘In For The Kill’ reaching number two in the UK charts, and the follow-up ‘Bulletproof’ going to number one.
But as with all overnight success, the La Roux sound took time to evolve. Music was always an escape, a way of expressing herself, and Elly started writing songs on guitar when she was 13, influenced by singers her parents played, like Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. But she didn’t find an identity of her own until she was 17 and discovered clubbing, dancing, and the endless possibilities of electronic music.
It was a sound the world was ready for. In total, La Roux sold more than six million singles worldwide, and over two million copies of her eponymous debut album. And the only person surprised seemed to be Elly herself.
‘I wasn’t prepared for it,’ she laughs. ‘I was 21 and still living with my parents! The record was supposed to be cold and hard and jagged and cheap-sounding, and I just didn’t see it as being particularly commercial.’
The record was released in the US a year later, winning the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance album in 2011. As a result, Elly ended up touring or promoting for two years virtually non-stop, and afterwards she needed to take some time out to relax, and learn how to take care of herself better. ‘I really enjoyed touring,’ she says. ‘But it happens so fast, it spirals and you don’t have time to process it all. And then it catches up with you.’

Trouble In Paradise’ features nine tracks, each written and played by multi-instrumentalist Elly Jackson with Ian Sherwin on co-production. It is the follow-up to La Roux’s Grammy-winning eponymous debut album 'La Roux'
