Louis La Roche – Wide Awake (featuring Spell City)

2 Sep

September through to the end of the year is not generally a period we get too excited about album release wise. A mixture of novelty, Christmas, greatest hits and bloody Buble don’t tend to set our pulses racing (I mean we do love a GOOD festive album but they are few and far between). It was a thrill, therefore, to see Louis La Roche finally drop his new album ‘Admittedly’ yesterday.

The singles have been whetting the appetite deliciously and first play of the full album confirms this to be a pop album of the year contender. The record covers 80s pop, synthwave, nu disco and yachtpop – indeed ‘Wide Awake’ manages to capture pretty much all of those sounds in one effort. An album to drive to, dance to, holiday to and hopefully hold on to summer to by giving it a spin as autumn approaches. There’s a limited vinyl run available too so head to Louis’ socials for details about that (our order was in FAST). The visualiser imagery is gorgeous by the way.
