Adele - Easy On Me (Louis La Roche 1988 Remix) @louislarochemusic

Louis La Roche Ahh the 80's! Prince, Michael, Madonna...Adele?

When I first heard the new Adele single ‘Easy On Me’ I instantly thought of the late 80’s. Maybe it’s the chord progression or the way she sings it, but something about it just made me want to rework it into an 80’s ballad.

SOMETIMES Y with Louis La Roche - Episode 1: Behind The Album Admittedly

Louis La Roche 2024-01-03 | Listen to the full 'Admittedly' album without interuptions:
fanlink.to/LLRADMIT

A behind the scenes look at 'Admittedly', the fifth studio album from Louis La Roche.

Limiting himself to synthesisers and techniques used in the 1980's, Louis set out to create a Modern Pop album, using only vintage sounds. The result is a beautifully nostalgic, soundscape journey, fused with contemporary songwriting. Lyrically the album explores 'hard truths' within relationships as it's core concept, set to the soft, rich and warm tones from the albums sound palette. Two years in the making, the album is his first LP to be pressed to vinyl.

All songs were written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Brett Francis Ewels. Except track 7 co-written by Madeleine Jane Abela.

Vocals by Brett Francis Ewels, Hedaayah Muhammad Christian, Oisin Sean Devine, Ashley Yoon, Howard Thompson, Michelle Garrett & Jesse Leroy Nunn III.

How I wrote ‘The Broken One’

Louis La Roche - The Broken One (feat. Ashley Alisha) (Official Audio)

Louis La Roche 2023-08-18 | STREAM/BUY - fanlink.to/LLRTBO

'The Broken One' is the final single from the forthcoming fifth Louis La Roche album 'Admittedly'.

It's a collaboration between Brett Ewels (Louis La Roche), Maddy Abela (songwriter for 49th & Main, Rules) and Ashley Alisha (songwriter for ITZY, LOONA, Oh My Girl). Co-written by Ewels and Abela, the song was influenced by the Italo Disco sound of the 1980's and the modern Synth-Pop/Dream-Pop/Disco Pop sound.

'Admittedly' is released September 1st.

LYRICS:
Tell me when is it over
Cos I feel like we're at the end
But when we reach it i'll replay this moment back in my head
Nobody ever told ya
All of the little things that you did
To earn the space in my heart again
Cos i've been running
Chasing the memories that you'll forget
Cos I try and I try and I get nowhere
And ain't it funny
You're living your life out there
Oh somewhere ah

And you chose to walk away
And now i'm here still holding on
Couldn't find the strength to stay
So you made me the broken one
The broken one

Tryna keep my composure
Forget all of the words you said
Oh every promise that forever would be ours in the end
Wish that i'd never known ya
Ignorance would have bought me bliss
Throughout the parts of myself I miss
Cos i've been running
Chasing the memories that you'll forget
Cos I try and I try and I get nowhere
And ain't it funny
You're living your life out there
Oh somewhere ah

And you chose to walk away
And now i'm here still holding on
Couldn't find the strength to stay
So you made me the broken one
The broken one

And if love is what we really had
Why did you get out with no pain
And if love is what we really had
How do I get it back again
Ah back again back again

And you chose to walk away
And now i'm here still holding on
Couldn't find the strength to stay
So you made me the broken one
The broken one
The broken one

Louis La Roche 2023-07-28 | STREAM/BUY - fanlink.to/LLRHONEST

Following previous single 'Colours' which was added to Spotifys 'Soirée' editorial playlist. 'Honest' features guest vocals from HEDDIE.

Recorded in 2023 using a mix of modern and vintage studio equipment and techniques. 'Honest' is the perfect blend of the Modern Pop sound and Synth-Pop of the 1980's. Funky guitars, soaring synths and soft falsetto vocals. Inspired by the mid 80's Pop sounds of Madonna, The Blue Nile and Nile Rodgers.

"I wanted to write a song that’s brutal lyrically, but fun and happy instrumentally. Once I finished the lyrics, I sent it over to HEDDIE who resang my vocals beautifully! She really took it to another level!" - Louis La Roche

'Honest' is taken from 'Admittedly', the fifth studio album from Louis La Roche, released September 1st.

Recent LLR remixes include Mette (Sony Music) and corook (Atlantic Records).

LYRICS:

Ask me to call you up sometime
Don't hold your breath no boy not this time
Don't need the games don't wanna fight
Always a cheat and you know I'm right
Can't take the tears and all the lies
I'm just a doll in your eyes
Boy you can dream and fantasise
But I can't wait to be rid of you

Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this
Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this

Couldn't resist your poison kiss
I wish I could have avoided it
Honest mistake now no more of this
Cut you out the silence is bliss
Can't take the tears and all the lies
I'm just a doll in your eyes
You try to change with all your might
But there's nothing you could say or do

Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this
Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this

I'm letting go of everything now with you
Still holding out for something that's bright and new
Just need someone who's loyal and that's the truth
Ah-ooo-ooh

Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this
Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it
I'm just being honest
You haven't earned this
Ain't even worth it
No you don't deserve it

There's a moment I can see all the colours
All above her
When I touch her
There's a moment I can see all the colours
All above her

All the time we spent wasting as friends
And if this ever ends
Girl just know the way I feels not pretend yeah
All I need is to hold you tight
Talking through the night

Louis La Roche 2023-01-16 | Created using the original 1982 multitrack.

'Blue Monday' is such a classic timeless dance record, even in 2023 it still moves a dancefloor like no other record. I wanted to create almost like an alternative take, an alternative mix of the record, something that would keep an audience on their toes. It's more DJ friendly, lots of builds and teases, but still sticking to what makes the original so perfect. Enjoy! LLR x

'Gone' is the second single taken from the forthcoming fifth Louis La Roche album. Written and Produced by Brett Ewels. Vocals by Sean Devine.

LYRICS:
Now we've fallen like dominos
I thought the blame was mine
We were always so touch and go
You pushed me to the line
You're like a merry-go-round
Spinnin' me out
Knocking me down it's true
You said it's different this time
Told me it's fine to you

It's too late cos baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone, gone
It's too late cos baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone, gone

We were always a losing game
I never saw the signs
Always happy to take the blame
I pushed it down inside
Heartbreak in stereo-sound
Drowning me out
Breaking my soul in two
You said it's different this time
Told me it's fine to you

It's too late cos baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone, gone
It's too late cos baby I'm gone
Baby I'm gone, gone

It's too late cos baby I'm gone

It's just Prince and a piano, no band. I'd say it's possibly better than the studio version. I wanted to create a version I could play in my DJ sets, as his vocal is just so perfect.

I know there's been a couple of other bootleg remixes over the years but I've always felt they've lacked the groove that a Prince song deserves.

So here's my shot at remixing Prince, Enjoy! LLR x

Michael Jackson - Liberian Girl (Louis La Roche Remix)

Louis La Roche 2022-01-03 | Created using the original 1986 multitrack.

I wanted to do something lots of subtle changes to the mix to make it a bit more club friendly. Bring parts in and out, extending for a longer intro and outro, enhancing the bass and adding new synths, drums and guitar to the track.

Enjoy! LLR x

Kanye West - Believe What I Say (Louis La Roche Groovy Edit)

Louis La Roche 2021-11-10 | The original felt a little unfinished to me. So I added an entirely new drumtrack, percussion, guitar, and synths, but most importantly more BOUNCE. Enjoy! LLR x

Louis La Roche - Were Not So Different - OUT NOW

Acclaimed UK Producer Louis La Roche returns with his fourth studio album, ‘We’re Not So Different’, released on Ever After Records on 29 October. With nods to the halcyon, free-spirited days of disco and the early origins of house music, the sixteen tracks on ‘We’re Not So Different’ could easily have lit up the iconic dancefloors of The Loft, Studio 54, and Paradise Garage.

Whilst the global pandemic affected everyone in 2020, for Louis La Roche, last year was especially difficult due to a near death experience in his family followed by his own personal burnout. As such, ‘We’re Not So Different’ became Louis La Roche’s escapism. Louis La Roche said: “This album is very personal to me. It’s like a journey inside my head. I can hear my childhood in these songs, my influences, and my idols. I can hear sadness, self-reflection, frustration and my insecurities but mainly this is an uplifting album, both in tone and subject matter.”

With 2020 the 40th Anniversary of Studio 54 closing, Louis La Roche thought how much had changed since 1980. With racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia still rife, he felt that disco summed up a generation, and the current generation shared more in common than previously thought. Hence the title ‘We’re Not So Different’.

Louis La Roche added: “Disco started in gay clubs and was pioneered mainly by the LGBTQ+ and black communities. It was an escapism from the discrimination they were facing on the streets. So, I wanted to build my own world. Channel the pain I was feeling into something positive. I delved into my influences and my strong connection between Disco and House Music. Whether it’s Pop, Funk, IDM, Leftfield, Breakbeat, Trip Hop, Rock, they can all find a common link with Disco and House and so you can mold them together to blur the lines a little bit.

Louis La Roche - One Big Gay Disco (Official Music Video)

Louis La Roche 2021-10-12 | Stream on Spotify/AppleMusic/Bandcamp - louislaroche.fanlink.to/OBGD

Louis La Roche releases the disco funk odyssey ‘One Big Gay Disco’ – a perfect homage to the open-minded ‘70s club scene, with a glittering, nostalgic video.

‘One Big Gay Disco’ could easily have lit up the iconic dancefloors of Studio 54, The Loft and Paradise Garage. Complete with the swirling strings and hypnotic beats which hark back to feel-good disco classics. The track sees Louis La Roche reposition hate speech and turn it into an uplifting celebration of house & disco music, and an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community.

‘One Big Gay Disco’ is taken from Louis La Roche’s fourth studio album, ‘We’re Not So Different’, released on Ever After Records on 29 October.

Louis La Roche - I Wish I Didnt Love You (Official Music Video)

Louis La Roche 2021-09-03 | Stream on Spotify/Apple Music - fanlink.to/IWIDLY

'I Wish I Didn't Love You', the second single taken from my upcoming 4th studio album...

“It's a song rooted in my childhood. The Filter House boom of the late 90's has been such an important influence on my sound over the years, and there's something so timeless about those songs. So I tried to create something that my younger self would love, something that hopefully stands strong next to all those classic records from Daft Punk to Spiller, Modjo to Stardust.” - Louis La Roche

Louis La Roche - Crazy (Official Music Video)

Louis La Roche 2021-08-06 | Stream on Spotify/Apple Music - fanlink.to/llrcrazy

'Crazy', the lead single taken from my upcoming 4th studio album...

'Crazy' was born of out sheer desperation. After the near death experience of a family member last year, I just had to write something uplifting and comforting. It became my escapism and my way of coping with a situation I had no control over. It’s weirdly nostalgic but somehow super modern at the same time. Which is something this new album is all about. That marriage of old and new - LLR x

Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted (Louis La Roche Remix)

Louis La Roche 2019-12-04 | When I first heard the original, the way in which the vocal were delivered reminded me more of a mid 80's Kate Bush record than a modern Pop record. So that's what I tried to do here. It ended up being more Nu Disco/Synthwave in the end, but I think it makes for a nice 'alternative' version of the original, keeping the same chords but changing the direction.
