The latest from CO artist STéLOUSE is the 90’s/new wave house sounds of “Lovers” which features newcomer vocalist BRAVE. “Lovers” plies a bit of a different dimension of STéLOUSE’s style where the main groove of the track is more the driver (the vocal and drum track working in a symbiotic way as one larger instrument) and the palette of sound is more dance-y. We’re into it. Check out “Lovers” and look for more from STéLOUSE soon.
