La Roux Singer Wants to Stop Talking about Herself
La Roux singer Elly Jackson can’t wait to go on holiday for three weeks to shed her on-stage persona.
La Roux star Elly Jackson wants her musical alter ego to “f**k off”.
The ‘Bulletproof’ hitmaker is looking forward to a holiday because she wants to be herself, instead of being constantly questioned about her pop star persona.
She said: “I’m going to go far, far away, for three weeks with my family. And when I go away I’m going to try not to think about La Roux because it’s become this thing where you meet up with your friends to have a normal evening and all you talk about is La Roux. I actually just want La Roux to f**k off!”
The singer – who is joined in La Roux by producer Ben Langmaid, who rarely speaks publicly about the duo – insists people have massive misconceptions about her because of her stage persona.
Frankmusik has claimed that La Roux will not have as much success with their second album.
The ‘Confusion Girl’ singer, who is currently working on the follow-up to debut Complete Me, admitted that he hoped for more longevity in the music industry than the ‘Bulletproof’ duo.
“If you look at someone like La Roux, who’s done so well so soon, how are you going to pull off the second album?” he told T5m.
“You’re never going to match the exposure. I want longevity, and I feel that I’ve got a second chance with my next album.”
The 25-year-old, who dropped out of a degree course at London School of Fashion after one year, insisted that he was happier being in the music industry.
“The degree worked for about a year and then I realised I’d rather lose everything and start again with the full passion. I’d rather fail at something I believed in,” he said.
He added: “As soon as my nan saw me on the TV and my mum saw the album, they’re happy”.
