Louis The Child today released a new album, The Sun Comes Up, but it apparently only scratches the surface of their music vault.
Beloved for their bubbly dance-pop, Louis The Child’s Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett are currently sitting on an unreleased, full-length hip-hop album, EDM.com has learned. The duo wrote each beat and even rapped their own lyrics, according to a media alert.
The duo produced the project in Malibu, where they temporarily lived prior to today’s release of The Sun Comes Up. While the hip-hop music “never saw the light of day,” it played a pivotal role in the creation of their long-awaited sophomore album, which dropped today via Interscope.
“Writing stuff for this hip-hop project tapped me into a lot of the feelings of where we come from in Chicago, and that tapped me back into the emotions and feelings starting Louis the Child,” Hauldren said. “A lot of the music in this new project taps into a lot of the sounds we used earlier in our career, but through a much more refined and advanced lens with that many more years of experience.”
It seems surprising on the surface, but Louis The Child are known for testing the waters of other genres. The duo in late-2022 launched Black Marble, an alias under which they produce “experimental electronic music with a darker, clubbier, European late-night vibe,” they told EDM.com in an interview at the time.
It’s important to note that Louis The Child have not formally announced the untitled hip-hop project at the time of this writing.
