We talked to LouisTheChild about the message behind 'Here For Now,' what that sentiment means in our ever-changing world and more.
It's hard to imagine that level of teenage success, but LTC's Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett -- now 23 and 22, respectively -- don't sit back on their accomplishments and phone in dance-pop hits. Instead, they ponder the ephemeral nature of life and craft rainbow layers of infectious sound.chart, Hauldren and Kennett struck a chord so jazzy and golden, it meets their strict standards for a debut album. Out Friday via Interscope,is thoughtful and intentional from top to bottom.
We caught up with the pair in early June, just as protests were breaking out across the country in response to the murder of George Floyd. We talked about the message behindRobby, you went out to a Black Lives Matter protests in Long Beach. How was that?I went with my friend Drew Love and his girlfriend. Drew Love is on our album on the song"Free.” It was really amazing to see the support and how peaceful it was. You see a lot on news about violence. Everyone is focusing on the looting.
You posted a note on Twitter about a time you were pulled over in Atlanta. Why was that important to share?It happened a couple of years ago. I was getting an Uber ride back to our bus late at night. The driver was Black, and we got pulled over for something very minor, like an illegal right turn on red or he didn't fully stop at a stop sign.
I felt it was important to share, not at all trying to make the situation about myself, but to highlight how terrible it is that a Black man feels safer around police if a white person is in his car. That's so wrong. … Those injustices are out there.I remember working with a few artists that told me they had incidents. This guy Pell -- he's the sweetest guy, just the best. It makes it so real to see people you love have dealt with this. It needs to stop.
There's been a lot of talk about how influential Black culture is to greater American culture. How has Black music inspired your art?My first hero in my entire life was Michael Jordan. I played basketball games on the PS2 that had all this New York '90s hip-hop in them. My aunt showed me Kid Cudi'sby Kanye West.
