Supervision is the third studio album by English singer Elly Jackson, known professionally as La Roux. It was released on 7 February 2020 through Jackson's own independent label Supercolour Records. It is her first album recorded entirely as a solo act, following 2014's Trouble in Paradise, on which former member Ben Langmaid still contributed to a number of songs. Musically, Supervision continued the style of the preceding album, exploring the music of the 1980s and referencing funk and disco.
The album was met with mixed to positive reviews upon its release. Some critics praised its musical direction and production while others critically reflected on its repetitiveness. The record achieved only moderate commercial success, reaching no. 20 in the UK and no. 85 in Germany. Supervision was preceded by three singles: "International Woman of Leisure", "Gullible Fool", and "Automatic Driver", but none of them made an impact on the charts.
