Today, Chicago-bred production duo Louis The Child release their debut album “Here For Now”, which is comprised of 14 anthemic tracks with features from the likes of EARTHGANG, K.Flay, Foster The People, Bob Moses and more. The album includes recently released track “Nobody Like You” with Vera Blue, the pair’s latest single “Little Things” with Quinn XCII & Chelsea Cutler which has garnered over 20 million combined streams, and previously released track “Free” with Drew Love which has amassed over 25 million combined streams, along with “Every Color” with Foster The People, and “Don’t Mind.” Here For Now is available at all digital retail providers via Interscope Records. See full track listing below.
Louis The Child says about the album, “There are a few messages throughout the album. Primarily, it’s about realizing and accepting how short this life is, trying to appreciate the moments we get, and finding the magic in every second because we’re only here for now. We wrote songs about the way we view the world. The way we treat each other matters. We can be a positive light. Let’s not stress the small things. Let’s make our experience the best we can for ourselves and everyone around us.”
In celebration of the album’s release, Louis The Child dropped a brand-new line of merchandise. 100% of the proceeds from the merch store sales this week (June 24 – July 1) will be donated to Chicago’s SaveMoneySaveLife Foundation. Louis The Child says, “All proceeds from merch sold this week will be donated to SaveMoneySaveLife, a Chicago charity founded by Vic Mensa that aims to highlight and empower Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color. Their program Street Medix aims to activate civilians with the knowledge, skills, and equipment to act as first responders to traumatic events, and they host a Know Your Rights workshop to educate people on their basic rights. In the past few months they’ve been providing free COVID-19 emergency supply kits to communities facing economic hardship. The kits contain PPE, toiletries, cleaning supplies, groceries and other necessary items. They have distributed over 47,000 pounds of food and 5,500 Grocery Packages + PPE kits so far.”
Additionally, Louis The Child has teamed up with OneRepublic front man Ryan Tedder’s hemp infused sparkling water, MAD TASTY, for their first-ever capsule collection. Coinciding with the launch of the album, 5,000 Louis The Child x MAD TASTY cans are available for purchase from which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, an organization that is providing immediate assistance to musicians and music industry workers who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. News of the collaboration broke yesterday via People Magazine in an exclusive interview with Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett of Louis The Child and Ryan Tedder.
Louis The Child floats through electronic, pop, and alternative with wide-eyed wonder, adventurous spirit, and the elation of being present. Since 2013, the Chicago-bred duo-Freddy Kennett and Robby Hauldren-have popped off as a phenomenon streamed upwards of 600 million times and endorsed by pop royalty such as Taylor Swift and Lorde. “Go” notably soundtracked an Apple iPad commercial in 2017, while their breakthrough “Better Not” with WAFIA earned a gold certification from the RIAA and powered the 2018 Kids At Play EP. Along the way, the boys packed hallowed venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO and New York’s Terminal 5 where they sold out a three-night stand. In addition, Louis The Child made explosive appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and beyond. Not to mention, they garnered acclaim from Billboard, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, Hypebeast, Dancing Astronaut, and more. In 2020, they unveil their full-length debut the aptly titled Here For Now [Interscope] and continue to prove they are a musical force to be reckoned with.
