Lou Phelps Teams Up With KAYTRANADA For ‘Touché EP’

Published

on

Lou Phelps is ready to burst out of the Montreal underground with his skittering electro-rap bangers. Coming through with a three-pack of futuristic fire, the Rostrum Records signee shares ‘Touché,’ a brand new EP. The new EP is home to Here We Go,” an invigorating slow-burn single, which is the first officially-released song that Lou Phelps produced himself.

Beyond “Here We Go,” the Touché EP features two new songs produced by Lou’s brother KAYTRANADATouché,” the project’s title track, is a relatively laid back number in which Lou weaves between soothing dollops of Fender Rhodes as he flaunts his new Benzes and Porsches. Meanwhile, “Greatest” is a grungier, darker take on Lou’s sound, mixing a manipulated vocal sample with insistent bass and croaking clavinets, providing a sinister backdrop for Lou’s luxury-life mantras: “Another day, another bankroll/And if I want it Imma get it on my own/Got you sayin’ that boy bad to the bone/Ring the bell, let these motherf*ckers know.”

The new EP arrives with a new video that incorporates elements of both “Touché” and “Greatest.” Directed by Igal Perets, Lou’s creative director who helps him execute his music videos, album covers, and all kinds of other visual media, the video paints a stylish picture of Lou’s MTL existence. The video starts with “Touché,” and it reflects the song’s easygoing vibe–Lou struts his stuff in a photogenic metro station before he hops to an art museum and takes his classic muscle car on a joyride.
