The 24-year-old, who is currently working on the follow-up to 2009’s self-titled debut, started a debate when she posted a message on the social networking site about Carly Jae Repsen’s current number one single.

She said: "Call me maybe" is that a lyric?? I can't tell who anyone on the radio Is anymore its just noise. Sorry but where has all the music gone?

“I am perfectly aware I will be slated for saying that but I'm genuinely worried for music.”

Responding to several of her followers’ comments about her remarks, she went onto criticise the likes of The Black Eyed Peas and Steps, before adding:

“This Is not about what I or any of you think about my music. Its about an industry that is dying and that we are letting it die.

“I've loved all your responses by the way. nice to hear the passion even if you do hate me. #bringbackthepunks"

The singer tweeted confirmation of the news, with the show due to air in the UK on January 1 on BBC One. The tweet said:

"Elly will make a guest appearance on the New Years episode of 'Absolutely Fabulous' on 1st January at 9.40pm on BBC One."

Earlier this year La Roux's debut album picked up a Grammy in the Best Electronic/Dance category, with her next album slated for a 2012 release.

The record still doesn't have a release date, but the 'Guilty Conscience' rapper has been working on it for sometime and after hearing La Roux's 'In For The Kill' on an episode of 'Entourage' he got in touch to ask for the rights:

"He got really excited about the track which is obviously really complimentary,"

"He did something with it and then sent it to us and said can he use it for his record and we said, 'Yes.'"

Jackson hasn't confirmed which of Dr. Dre's tracks will feature her vocals, but divulged:

"Apparently he and The Game, this is a really hilarious image for me, were sitting watching Entourage together."

"My manager always jokes that they were eating ice cream, under blankets and having a girls night in."

"[He's used] Mainly the vocal and then he put his own beats on it. It's supposed to be on the next record."

The showcase is set to be at the London venue Koko on April 5 and is part of the Nissan Juke 'Behind The Hit' concert series. 'In For The Kill' star Elly Jackson will perform a DJ set and also joining her on the bill are Delphic, The Naked and Famous and Pony Pony Run Run. 

A statement from Spotify's Jonathan Foster said:

"Giving our users access to great live music in their own home is the next step in the Spotify experience,"

The glittering ceremony gets underway at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles tonight but some early winners have already been announced. They include Michael Bublé, who nabbed Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for ‘Crazy Love’ and Rihanna who walks away with Best Dance Recording for ‘Only Girl (In The World).’ The remainder of the winners will be announced through the night.

Jackson divulged that La Roux was writing its sophomore release with "some friends from another band" but quickly added, "I wont say who they are."

This elusive collaboration is said to be the indie band White Lies, although nothing has yet been confirmed and Jackson went on to add that the band is "established, but not like Kings Of Leon-established or anything…". 

The success of La Roux's debut record has pushed Jackson's creativity and has inspired her to work as hard as possible:

"I know I'm not going to stop writing until we've got songs that can compete on the same level as 'In For The Kill' and 'Bulletproof'."

Check out the duo's video for 'In For The Kill' here:

Speaking to MTV, La Roux singer Elly Jackson said: "He’s (West) a very exciting person to be around. He’s a special breed of person. He’s not quite like anyone I’ve ever met before. He’s very, very, very creative."

The singer added: "He comes up with ideas every five seconds. We’ve had a very interesting three days. It’s a very interesting mix of things."

‘In For The Kill’ is taken from the band’s self-titled debut album, 'La Roux', and peaked at number two in the UK chart last year.

The 'Bulletproof' singer, who recently revealed that she would be teaming up with the 80s synthpop band, said that her and musical partner Ben Langmaid would love to work more with them after collaborating for BBC 6 Music.

She told the radio station: "We'd definitely be up for it. If you respect each other and like making music it's only ever a matter of time and schedule unfortunately, which is annoying. "For us, we've got to write our second record but we don't have any time to get into the studio until August. "We've got to get some time but if we have time we will definitely, definitely do something with Heaven 17. Ben would die to do something with them. "I just wanna hang out with them as well, they're just funny people."

Heaven 17's Glenn Gregory added: "The least that could happen is that we should work together on one song together, because I think there's something special going on with those voices and it would be really nice."

"The vocal style will be different, I've changed the way I sing. Not on purpose, it's just happened, seeing things I can do with my voice," she confirmed.

Jackson went on to reveal that she has expanded her musical influences, which will have an effect on the sound of the next record.

"The type of music I like now is completely different," she explained. "I don't listen to '80s music any more. Obviously I still do but not the same type of '80s music. "I've listened to a lot more Italo-disco and old funk. The influences will be very different for the next record."

The show is hosted by Lauren Laverne, with backstage and behind-the-scenes footage from Miquita Oliver. It will be aired on T4 and 4Music in February.

The La Roux singer admitted that she prefers being in the studio.

"If I had things my way, I'd be in the studio 365 days a year. I don't want to do photoshoots and I hate making videos. The end result looks great, but it's not like that at all. It's about getting changed in a toilet and getting wee on your socks."

Jackson also believes that she has been depicted as a “moody bitch”.

She said, "I can tend to look like I'm about to kill someone. People go, 'God, you're moody'. But I'm not, genuinely. I just frown a lot."

Watch an interview with La Roux's Elly Jackson below:

 The chart-topping pop star was almost taken out of school because of taunts she received about her appearance.  

She explained, “There was an especially dark period where I nearly had to leave my primary school after this one girl relentlessly told everyone I was a lesbian and/or a boy. Which, when you’re eight and a mixed-up tomboy, is really upsetting and confusing. I got asked out for a joke quite regularly. I just grew to hate everything about the way I looked.” 

Despite the torment she endured, the ‘Bulletproof’ star admits she understands why she was singled out by some of her peers. She said: “I was big, fat, ginger, had size nine feet and looked like a boy. Nothing was really working in my favour was it?"

Watch an interview with Elly Jackson at a Scala, London gig below:

Elly Jackson, 21, and Ben Langmaid, 37, are huge fans of the Sheffield trio, who scored a massive hit with Temptation back in the day.

“Glen Gregory, the lead singer with Heaven 17, heard I was a fan and has been in touch. We email each other a lot. We finally met at an awards do recently, he’s lovely. Greg and Ben are going to meet up to have a coffee and discuss some things. We’ll see what happens.”

Apart from the potential Heaven 17 team-up, La Roux are, as a rule, against any further collaborations.

The Bulletproof star explained, "We’ve been asked to write some things for other people but I don’t think we will at the moment. I find it a bit unfocused of artists to collaborate with people so early on. It’s strange to me that some bands’ first albums are recorded with 10 different artists. You end up thinking, ‘Well, what have you actually done here?’"

Watch The Guardian review La Roux as a hot act for 2009:

The Mercury Prize was established in 1992 as an alternative to the more commercially minded Brit awards. A panel of industry experts, including journalists, musicians and independent-label executives, debate the merits of what they believe to be the finest British albums from the past year, regardless of sales or radio play. 

The winner of this year's award will be announced on 8 September 2009.

Watch Elly Jackson discuss her new found fame below:

The singer revealed that one night she got so worried about the prospect of losing her voice and having to cancel some gigs that she couldn't sleep - and lost her voice as a result.

The 21-year-old said, "It's just not acceptable to do an OK gig, it's all got to be the best it can be, so I'm freaking out about not letting anyone down lately."
