The 'Bulletproof' star admitted that their debut album was inspired by acts popular two decades ago, but told people who accuse them of relying on a tried-and-tested formula to "get a grip".
"I don't get it. Obviously there's elements of Human League, Heaven 17, Blancmange and Simple Minds, we're not denying that because those were our influences with the album," she told The Quietux.
"But we certainly haven't just gone and tried to recreate '80s music. But because it's all synths, people go, 'Oh, '80s'. It's just pop music! The Eurythmics was never seen as electropop, it was just pop music. Neither was Depeche Mode, it's just pop music."
Commenting on her unique hairstyle, Jackson added: "This is a '50s-inspired quiff! Get a grip."
La Roux release their self-titled debut album on June 29.
