So thank God we still have someone like the multi-talented Ellie Jackson, who is now running La Roux as a solo project following the departure of musical partner Ben Langmaid in 2011. Unlike the superb 2009 debut album, the long awaited follow-up 'Trouble In Paradise' will draw more on acoustic sounds and instruments, including guitars, organs and percussion; however, analog and digital synthesizers will still feature as part of the overall sound. Jackson has confirmed she will be playing instruments on the record, in addition to co-writing, co-producing and (of course) providing vocals. The smart 'Uptight Downtown' features a layered, more organic kind of disco sound in addition to the usual synthpop flavours as well as a breathtakingly catchy set of hooks. Looking forward to this new album VERY much...
As a lot of you will have noticed, I don't feature a lot of pop music on the site. Why? Because the vast majority of it is of appallingly bad quality, and certainly not good enough to feature on RW/FF. And due to major record labels only releasing music by talentless fakes with no musical skills, mainstream pop is in the most shabby state it has ever been.
