Shallou Returns With Elderbrook-Assisted “Heartaches,” Signs to FADER Label
It’s been a long year without Shallou, whose vibrant electronic compositions have been absent from New Music Fridays since last March. Thankfully, the wait just ended. Released September 10th, “Heartaches” is Shallou’s first release since his 2020 sophomore album, Magical Thinking. It is also his debut project under FADER Label, which counts trend-setting artists like Clairo, Charlie Burg and Matt and Kim among its ranks. Built around lyrics that were co-written with Elderbrook, “Heartaches” pairs echoing vocal chops with a euphoric dance drop and wistful guitar riff. Tying it all together are interweaving layers of drum kit synths and grounding effervescent chords. The track is also an unmistakable nod to Shallou’s 2018 album,...
A New Chapter: Louis The Child Reborn as Rave Act In Electrifying Red Rocks Performance
Kiss goodbye to the old Louis The Child. Long known for their bubbly dance-pop anthems, like the Taylor Swift-approved “It’s Strange,” the duo have now mutated into a full-blown rave act.
