La Roux are an English synth-pop act formed in 2006 by singer Eleanor “Elly” Jackson and record producer Ben Langmaid. Their debut album La Roux was a critical and commercial success, winning a Grammy Award and producing hit singles such as “In for the Kill” and “Bulletproof”. Recording of a follow-up album was marred by unsuccessful collaborations, the cancellation of two planned release dates, and reported conflict between the duo. Langmaid ultimately left the group in 2014, and Jackson released a second album, Trouble in Paradise, the same year, maintaining the former duo’s name.
