La Roux Albums Ranked

La Roux is an English synthpop act formed in 2006 by singer Eleanor “Elly” Jackson and record producer Ben Langmaid. The act’s debut album La Roux (2009) 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 2012, and Jackson released a second album, Trouble in Paradise, in 2014, maintaining the former duo’s name as her stage persona. In 2020, she released her third album, Supervision. Here are all of La Roux’s albums ranked.

4. Sidetracked, 2010

“I’m trying to collect everything La Roux, but even then, I decided to get this upon release because it would become a collector’s item in about a year or so. The mix itself is fine. What really makes up for it is the only La Roux track on it, a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Under My Thumb.” The track before it, “Testarossa Autodrive” segues really well into it.”

3. Supervision, 2020

“La Roux is a hard artist to pin down, if only in part due to the small size and large gaps in her catalog. Aside from a general synth pop aesthetic, there aren’t many through lines to her own material, with her first two releases featuring radically different sounds. The songwriting and performances on this album remain in line with what she has put forward in the past.”

2. Trouble In Paradise, 2014

“Five years after her lauded danced debut dropped La Roux achieved the impossible: an even better record! Disregarding expectations for another singles-orientated album of bangers, Elly Jackson opted to focus upon a laid back, light summery piece which stood tall as a solid unit, each sleek song sunshining their joy without outshining one other, flirting with the cheerful line between electropop and nu-disco, flaring up with a mouth full of flavor.”

1. La Roux, 2009

“This album is synth pop gold, with bleeping synths, tinny drum machines and catchy songs aplenty. All the songs are good but the first four – “In for the Kill”, “Tigerlily”, “Quicksand” and “Bulletproof” – set an impossibly high standard of singalong catchiness. Other notable tunes include “Colourless Colour”, “I’m Not Your Toy” and “Growing Pains”. A fantastic debut and classic pop record.”
