English singer and songwriter La Roux has released three studio albums, one mix album, one mixtape, two extended plays, 17 singles (including two as a featured artist), two promotional singles and 11 music videos. La Roux was originally formed as a duo in 2006, consisting of Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid. They first collaborated on the acoustic project Automan before opting to switch to a musical style similar to that of Prince, David Bowie and the Knife, naming their new project La Roux. [1]
The duo's eponymous debut studio album was released in June 2009, reaching number two on the UK Albums Chart and number seven on the Irish Albums Chart. [2] [3] The album was eventually certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA). [4] [5] In 2011, La Roux won a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. [6] Four singles were released from the album: "Quicksand", "In for the Kill", "Bulletproof" and "I'm Not Your Toy". "Bulletproof" peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart and was certified gold by the BPI. [3] [4] Following Langmaid's departure from La Roux, Jackson released La Roux's second studio album, Trouble in Paradise , in July 2014.
