La Roux are straying away from the sound that made them who they are and are venturing into a whole other genre. Elly Jackson, the visible half of the duo, has said “My vocal style’s changed [for] one, so that’s going to be different. It’s a bit deeper and rounder and sexier … and definitely the musical style’s going to change, as well.”

“You’re going to still be able to tell it’s La Roux — synthy, bouncy elements — [but] more organic feeling, but funkier without being too flamboyant,” she added. “A lot more funkier rhythms and looser and less angular. … We’d like to move from that a little bit but keep elements of that.”

Let’s hope it works!
