Album: Trouble in Paradise
Five years is a long time to wait to follow up a record, especially for your debut... but here we are in 2014 and English synthpop duo La Roux have completed the follow up to their Grammy-winning debut album from 2009.
Trouble in Paradise will be released July 7th. The band has revealed the album art, but no official word on a lead single, though a new slow-build track was accidentally put up for sale on a Polish website, and is now everywhere.
"Let Me Down Gently" is moody, synthy track that has lead singer Elly Jackson sounding quite gorgeous and emotive, avoiding the at-times screechiness that could be found on the debut. It's an expansive track that's sexy and a bit mysterious. It's got a dramatic pause that sets things up to explode... and yet it remains restrained in it's mood. It's a bit 80's, and quite gorgeous... and then that sax!
It might not have the bounce of previous hits "Bulletproof" and "I'm Not Your Toy," but really digging this.
Enjoy.
Take a listen here.
