La Roux's Elly Jackson says she is changing her vocal style for their second album.

Those who dislike Jackson's marmite shrill voice can take solace from the fact that she may no longer be subjecting you to it.

She tells Radio 1's Newsbeat: "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."

Jackson also says that fresh influences will shape the album musically too.

"The type of music I like now is completely different," she added. "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."
