Lou Phelps Unveils Brand New KAYTRANADA Produced Album ‘CHÈLBE’

Rising Haitian-Canadian artist and wordsmith Lou Phelps has unveiled his highly anticipated and most ambitious new project ‘Chèlbè‘.

Chèlbè was created to introduce a sound that represents the true nature of Montreal in what Phelps likes to call “a melting pot of influence.” Produced by brother KAYTRANADA, Lou’s natural swagger is felt throughout this record, giving listeners a glimpse of what’s to come on his upcoming tour, alongside him.

“I just wanted to create something that feels good, you know? Something you can vibe to that doesn’t try too hard. I really wanted to lock in on the feels and tried to bring a new energy to the table.”
– Lou Phelps

The album sets the tone for what’s to come with ‘PROLLY US’ –  A nostalgic fusion of funk, soul and a cultural sound formally known as “Kompa” – a Haitian dance music genre that emerged in the 1950s, combining African rhythms and European ballroom dance influences.
