British synth-pop singer Elly Jackson, aka La Roux, has returned after what seems like an age, and a very welcome return it is. While her brilliant, slow burning new single “Let Me Down Gently”, the video for which surfaced just last week, is still on repeat mode on our car stereo, we’ve got our hands on the first remix of the track by Norwegian disco maestro and Full Pupp boss Prins Thomas. Once again, Prins Thomas has really worked some magic in turning “Let Me Down Gently” into a gorgeously, warm piece of classy disco. What a ride!
“Let Me Down Gently” is lifted from La Roux’s long-awaited sophomore LP, “Trouble in Paradise”, her first album in five years, which will arrive on July 7th via Polydor. You can pre-order your copy here.
