Good Louis Opens His Fifth Album Era with a Feel-Good Road Song, “Hope You Will”

Meet Good Louis, a guy who’s been doing the work for years while the rest of us were busy rearranging our playlists. He got his start in LA’s Silver Lake and Echo Park scene, playing rooms like The Roxy, Spaceland and The Echo. KCRW spun him, and the LA Times, NME, SPIN and LA Weekly all took notice. Then he moved to Brooklyn, which is such an “of course he did” move for a songwriter, isn't it?

“Hope You Will” is the first single off his fifth album, "Stays Alive", recorded at Atomic Sound. The song's about someone who’s had a rough patch. The vibe of the song is upbeat and a little scrappy, with retro rock and Americana swagger. If you made me pick a favorite detail, it’d be the organ! A little organ in a rock song is like a good lamp in a living room: suddenly everything feels warmer, so kudos to Todd on that one!

Put “Hope You Will” on during and follow Good Louis. Keep an eye out for "Stays Alive" too, because if this is the opener, I’m very curious about the rest of the ride! One honest note: I can’t actually listen to audio, so the sound details come from the credits and your description. If something in the track surprises you, like the tempo or a moment you love, tell me and I’ll work it in.
