So La Roux is back after 5 years. Her new single 'Let Me Down' slowly was played for the first time on May 12th via Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show, it will be released before the rest of her album, Trouble in Paradise, which is available on July 7th. La Roux, or Elly Jackson, keeps the synth-y sounds as we were used to in her first album 'La Roux' however she goes for a lot more laid-back style here as the shrieking high pitched voices are removed for a more relaxed vibe, I was a fan of the first album at the time, but have grown against it, yet this new singles brings a new aspect to La Roux which I do find very appealing. Ben Langmaid has left the band and his influence is really noticed, however not at all missed, if the rest of the album follows on the same path as this single it will be a quality collection of songs.
