‘Trouble In Paradise’ will be released via Polydor on July 7. Song titles include ‘Paradise Is You’, ‘Sexotheque’ and ‘Tropical Chancer’. La Roux’s self-titled debut album was released in 2009. Jackson previously spoke to NME about the delay in releasing the album, saying: “I realised the album I wanted to make would require me being a much better musician than I was. There’s been a lot of learning and it’s been fun and I didn’t want it to stop, basically.”

London Conway Hall (July 1)
Glasgow O2 ABC (November 5)
Leeds Metropolitan University (7)
Birmingham Institute (8)
Bristol Academy (10)
O2 Shepherds Bush Empire (12)
