La Roux’s Elly Jackson has opened up about the follow-up album to the band’s hugely successful 2009 self-titled debut, saying the next record is going to be “funkier”.

Talking to MTV, Jackson said: "Me and Ben [Langmaid] have been thinking about that a lot, and listening to a lot of stuff, and referencing things and talking about things.

She added: "My vocal style's changed [for] one, so that's going to be different. It's a bit deeper and rounder and sexier ... and definitely the musical style's going to change, as well."

Although Jackson makes the record sound very different from what La Roux are known for, she assures fans that their signature sound will still shine through.

"You're going to still be able to tell it's La Roux — synthy, bouncy elements — [but] more organic feeling, but funkier without being too flamboyant," she added. "A lot more funkier rhythms and looser and less angular. ... We'd like to move from that a little bit but keep elements of that."
