A distancia de cinco años de su primer proyecto musical de debut, el dúo inglés de synth pop La Roux está a punto de regresar al mercado con un nuevo álbum de estudio.
El primer elepé sigue siendo uno de los más escuchados entre los apasionados de este estilo, sin embargo la vocalista Elly Jackson y el productor Ben Langmaid han decidido volver con un álbum realizado con el objetivo de superar el anterior.
“Trouble In Paradise” llegará a las tiendas durante la primera semana de julio e incluirá el primer single adelanto “Let Me Down Gently”, octava pista del disco que se presenta con un sonido plenamente años Ochenta. El nuevo proyecto de La Roux será publicado por Polydor y el single ha sido estrenado oficialmente el pasado 13 de mayo.
En el tracklist han sido incluidas las siguientes nueve canciones originales: “Uptight Downtown”, “Kiss and Not Tell”, “Cruel Sexuality”, “Paradise Is You”, “Sexotheque”, “Tropical Chancer”, “Silent Partner”, “Let Me Down Gently”, “The Feeling”.
La letra de ‘Let Me Down Gently’:
Let me down gently
That’s what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels it hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That’s what I really need
Tel me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You’re not my life but I want you in it
Set me up I’m slowly
That’s what you do to me
Oh you set me up slowly
Now I can’t come down, down
Let me down gently
That’s what I think you need
But when I let you down gently
And you try to hide your frowns, frowns
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You’re not my life but I want you in it
And I hope it’s sinking
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know there’s a place for me
Let me down gently
That’s what I think I need
But when you let me down gently
It still feels it hard, hard
Turn me into someone good
That’s what I really need
Tel me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young and foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You’re not my life but I want you in it
And I hope it’s sinking
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know there’s a place for me
