Jackson originally formed La Roux in 2006 with her then-musical partner and record producer Ben Langmaid. The synth-pop duo released their self-titled debut album in 2009 before announcing their split five years later.

“I came to [Langmaid] with some rare disco references and he made it very clear he didn’t like them. There wasn’t a great deal of understanding,” Jackson told NME in a 2014 interview about making ‘Trouble In Paradise’, La Roux’s sophomore record.

“Sometimes I thought we were on the same level, but then from the production that would come to light, I didn’t feel that we were. I wasn’t happy with the way some of the demos were sounding,” she added.
After Langmaid left the group, Jackson continued La Roux as a solo act, releasing ‘Trouble In Paradise’ in July 2014. Her sophomore album was hailed by NME in a four-and-a-half star review as a “lush neo-disco” record “laced with anxiety”.
