La Roux makes rousing return to the stage after 10 years, teases new album: ‘Don’t know where I went’

Don’t call it a comeback.
Dynamic dance pop singer La Roux — who won a 2011 Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album — made a triumphant return to the stage on Saturday night, and turned in a bulletproof performance.
The flame-haired singer — who hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2010 with her hit, “Bulletproof” — played the sleek LA venue the Sun Rose on Saturday, which holds up to 150 attendees at the Pendry West Hollywood hotel.
“It’s been 10 years… I don’t know where I went,” said the singer of playing live, but teasing, “there is an album on the way.”
Wearing a chic spin on a varsity jacket — and with a shorter ‘do than her signature swoop of the past — La Roux performed her instantly danceable new material, along with past bops like “In for the Kill,” “Sexotheque” and “Cruel Sexuality” off her self-titled 2009 album and her 2014 follow-up “Trouble in Paradise.”
She opened with “Automatic Driver,” a track from her 2020 album, “Supervision.”
The singer commanded the stage for an assured, tidy, one-hour set of ethereal, edgy music with a new two-piece band that had the room entranced as they danced.
There are three more gigs planned as part of a “residency” at different LA venues every Saturday through April 5.
The new album is “100% self-written, composed and produced” by La Roux, who has previously collaborated with Tyler the Creator, Major Lazer, New Order and Chromeo, among others.
The London-bred star recently told Forbes of the upcoming project: “This record is solely American production-influenced. I don’t feel like it makes as much sense in the UK as it does in America. All of the visual references are also completely American. Plus, I feel like LA has always been a nice spot for me. Being in the sun is where this album should be. It’s nice to start things from where it felt like it was born.”
