Louis The Child unleashes the addictive new single “Slow,” a collaboration with rising electronic artists Łaszewo and pluko. Delightfully off-kilter yet brimming with pop hooks, the duo's latest is made for festivals and summer performances — such as their annual Alter-Ego Festival in Brooklyn on August 17, and their upcoming A Day In the Sun series of outdoor daytime shows kicking off in September.

“It was just another random night making beats with pluko when we started this one,” Louis The Child reveal of the song's creation. Not long after, they were in a session in Vegas and pulled out the beat. "It flowed like water," they say. "It's a song about wanting to dive straight into a relationship, about feeling all the right emotions and not wanting to hold back or take things slow." pluko was thrilled by the direction "Slow" took. "It was beautiful to see the evolutions it took to get to the final released version,” he says. It's a sentiment Łaszewo shares: "We absolutely love this track and feel that it embodies a perfect fusion of all of our sounds.”
"Slow" follows closely on the heels of their collaboration with Madeon “Believe It,” a particularly special one considering that Louis The Child members Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett originally met at a Madeon concert as teenagers. Since then, the duo has notched over 20 hits on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and amassed nearly two billion combined career streams.
