La Roux in the studio: 'Nile Rodgers' influence is making my second album sexy' - Q308 preview

La Roux's Elly Jackson insists her second album, which she's currently recording, will be "warm and sexy" thanks to Nile Rodgers and Chic.
Speaking in our new issue, Q308 which is on sale now, the singer explained she is working on ahead of a release later this summer.
"If there's a theme to this new album, it's that the music and the texture and the tone is going to feel warm and sexy," declares Jackson.
"My first album wasn't sexy at all - it was angular and hard. But I've been listening a lot of Nile Rodgers' productions for inspiration. They're not necessarily talking about sec but the music is... I don't hear that any more in music but I'd love to. So I thought, Fuck it, I'll do it myself."
Get Q308 now for the full in the studio interview with La Roux, including more on the album, track titles and more exclusive in the studio shows.

I thought the first album was rather disposal. By the time it played through 2 times I was wondering when I will get money to buy another album by some other artist. Thought the music was boring I give half of a star to La Roux since it only polite to do so. Won't be a hard critic. Maybe the new album will be better but I highly doubt it as I have gotten a chance to catch a sneak peek. The voice has been edited and distorted.

Thats rediculous, every song was fantastic. I Will buy the new album as soon as it comes out because rarely do artists care as much about the music they make as she does. Her writing style, original beats, and androgynous style make her an original artist. I've never heard a bad track.

I think initially this will draw more of a diverse crowd for La Roux for those who were quick to dismiss and be so critical of La Roux & Elly, the front woman whom La Roux couldn't be without as just temporary trend in the pop world will see the other sides this group has to offer without falling into the asphalt of temporary artists as so many others have. I have good confidence in La Roux's new take in direction & I hope their loyal fans who appreciate it for what it is make a noise when the second album drops. I look forward to this new album & even If it does not make top spot, I won't be convinced it is limited thereto. I like sticking around.

I'd disagree a lot about the first album not being sexy.
Tigerlily is the hottest song I've heard in a while and the entire album is so appealing and wonderful, sometimes I find myself listening to the entire of it several times a day, never getting filled.
It is so special.
Now waiting for the next album, as I searched for the proof there IS coming some...

La Roux is literally awesome, she brought to the table something she genuinely enjoyed it may have been influenced but at least it was by who SHE admired not just what was definitely going to sell.
She is my favorite artist, which is why I am so gutteed she hasn't done anything new in almost 2 years but I am hoping highly her new album will more than make up for this.
5 stars from me.
