She’s the Grammy-winning producer, songwriter, and performer who has worked with Tyler, The Creator, CASISDEAD, Skream, and Skrillex and sold millions of records across the globe. Yet, judging by her new work, the best is yet to come for La Roux, who returns with a fiercely redemptive fourth record. Old Flames is a brilliant, imaginative, cinematic record whose references include David Lynch and Donnie Darko, All Saints and Mariah Carey alongside her jeep and summertime rain. Composed, written, produced, and arranged by La Roux, “Cabin Fever” is a triumphant return from a multi-award-winning composer who sold over two million albums in the US alone. She’s worked with some of the world’s most influential musicians; DnB frontrunner Zinc reworked Bulletproof, while dubstep pioneer Skream and Grammy winner Skrillex both remixed In For The Kill; she later worked with Skream on his second album, 2010’s Outside The Box. In 2019, she featured alongside guests including Solange and Lil Uzi Vert on Tyler, The Creator’s boundary-breaking album Igor. The following year, Tyler remixed La Roux’s “Automatic Driver” from her third album, Supervision. In 2021, she worked with reclusive rapper Casisdead on “Park Assist”, featuring alongside the BRIT winner in the video directed by Deadpool baddie Ed Skrien. Her work continues to inspire and influence other artists; French Montana, Tion Wayne, Mavado, and Major Lazer are just some of the acts who have sampled La Roux’s work.
