LOUIS THE CHILD’S NEW ALBUM, 'THE SUN COMES UP', IS OUT TODAY
LOUIS THE CHILD’S NEW ALBUM, THE SUN COMES UP, IS OUT TODAY VIA INTERSCOPE RECORDS
DUO’S A DAY IN THE SUN 2024 SERIES OF SHOWS VISITS GRANARY LIVE! IN SALT LAKE CITY TODAY AND COLORADO’S RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE TOMORROW – TICKETS HERE
Today, Louis The Child released their sophomore album, The Sun Comes Up, via Interscope Records. The album’s 13 tracks explore a variety of tempos, rhythms, genres and moods, filtering it all through the unique choices and perspectives only Louis The Child can deliver. The acclaimed Chicago production duo – comprising Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett – has charted over 20 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs tally and amassed nearly two billion combined career streams to date. They call The Sun Comes Up their most personal project to date, but they couldn’t have gotten here without going on a journey of discovery. Listen to The Sun Comes Up HERE.
Dancing is at the heart of The Sun Comes Up, even as it brings plenty of vocal-heavy moments. Trap and hip-hop beats change suddenly into house rhythms, pushing candy-colored synth melodies into new dimensions mid-song, as exemplified on “Supercharger,” which features 1996Montana on vocals. Listen to “Supercharger” HERE. View the visualizer HERE.
The Sun Comes Up is a return to form that celebrates curiosity, childlike wonder and gut instinct. From the opening feel-good grooves of “Believe It” (with Madeon) to the wall of sound on the closing track “I’m Not Giving Up” (with MEMBA), the album plays like a field trip through a sunny sky. The accompanying artwork evokes this feeling, showcasing happy little cloud monsters frolicking in a pastel sunrise.
So it’s only fitting that the duo would celebrate the album’s release with a series of outdoor daytime shows. Today, they’ll play Granary Live! In Salt Lake City with special guests Jai Wolf and Wavedash. Tomorrow, September 21, Louis The Child returns to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, bringing Jai Wolf, MEMBA and Daniel Allen along with them. (Jai Wolf will be doing a CLUB BABU DJ set at both shows.) See below for the remaining A Day In The Sun 2024 dates. Tickets available HERE.
The Sun Comes Up is about letting your heart lead the way and finding joy in whatever form or medium it takes. Rather than ignore the sadder moments in life, it celebrates them, encouraging one to walk away with a lesson.
“It's what feels worth the time and energy, doing your best to make the world brighter for yourself, and then along the way, for everyone else, too,” Hauldren explains. “When you're intentionally making music, it's your choice what to say. Are you going to talk about how much you hate a person, or are you going to talk about how you've grown from how they treated you, and try to find some new understanding through it?”
Naming “Believe It” as one of the best new dance tracks, Billboard observed, “[it’s] all bounce, effervescence and (seemingly) marimba, with the vocals giving the song a pop lean and a singalong melody and all its parts building to a giddy jam that’s not only joyful, but – in the very quickly moving world of dance releases, memorable too.” CULTR noted, “The vibes are immaculate…” EDM.com praised “Make You Mine” with Whethan and Hayley May as “a love anthem that’s both introspective and irresistibly danceable.” ThisSongSlaps hailed “I’m Not Giving Up” as “a whimsical future bass beauty that has an undeniable anthemic quality to it that has made it a true fan favorite…”
