It's been five years since La Roux has released any new music. After breaking through with their smash hit "Bulletproof," La Roux rode that all the way to 2013's Coachella where the duo performed singles off their debut album and a few new songs from their upcoming album. But that was over a year ago, and I kept wondering what became of the sophomore album. I remember enjoying their new material during her 2013 Coachella set.
Thankfully, La Roux have just released "Let Me Down Gently," off their just announced second studio album, Trouble in Paradise. And as the album title suggest, the honeymoon stage is over - it is time to re-examine the relationship.

"Let me down gently
That's what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels hard, hard"

At over 5 minutes long, "Let Me Down Gently" builds. It is a song nuanced by its changing beat, refreshing the sound that allows the song to go beyond the typical 3 minute mark. After the 2:40 minute mark, it is #dancethepainaway.
La Roux has also released the tracklist for Trouble in Paradise, which is scheduled to be released digitally on July 7, 2014 via Polydor Records.
