La Roux unveils another new track; tour dates in '20

La Roux is continuing to tease the release of her new album Supervision due February 7, 2020, and has unveiled another single and video titled, “Gullible Fool.” Watch the video HERE.

This track follows on the heels of “International Woman Of Leisure,” which premiered as Annie Mac of UK radio’s “Hottest Record in the World.” This forthcoming collection is the first offering from Elly Jackson, aka La Roux, in five years.

In her final Supervision recording sessions with co-producer Dan Carey, La Roux found herself up late finishing an altogether different song, but felt compelled to sit down at the piano on her way to bed. In her own words, “Gullible Fool” “is the most special and meaningful song on the record for me, because I feel like it encapsulates a cycle of a life, and that couldn’t have happened if I wasn’t in the process of writing something else. It describes the feeling of being overly trusting, and living under the assumption that you shouldn’t need to protect yourself if you are nice to people.”

Having recently provided vocals for Tyler, The Creator on his critically acclaimed Igor, La Roux is a Grammy-winning, BRIT and Mercury-Prize-nominated artist and producer who shot to worldwide fame with her debut self-titled album. Featuring hits like “In For The Kill” and “Bulletproof,” the album sold more than 6 million singles worldwide and featured collaborations with the likes of Skream, Kanye West, and Major Lazer – which ultimately helped reshape pop as we now know it.

Jackson’s second album, Trouble In Paradise, was a critically-adored reinvention in sound and look, topping the Dance/Electronic charts in the US and landing La Roux her second top 10 record in the UK. Since then, she’s been featured on records by artists ranging from Tyler, The Creator to New Order. It’s undeniable that ten years on from La Roux’s debut album, she has solidified her status as one of modern music’s genuine trailblazers.

La Roux will begin her international jaunt of headlining dates in February, with North American dates to commence in March.
