Louis the Child postpone debut album release

Louis the Child were ready to release their highly anticipated debut album Here For Now this Friday, June 12.

But given the current climate, the Chicago duo have made the decision to postpone the release of their album until June 26th.

Louis The Child are not the first to delay a release due to the national Black Lives Matter movement, as many artists have felt that now is not the time for self-promotion. In their statement, Louis The Child said, “We’re excited for you to hear it, but right now we need to keep our focus on this movement.”
