Louis the Child & Icona Pop – Weekend (Original Mix)

by: Austin Evenson Jul 3, 2016

The precocious duo of Robby Hauldren and Freddy Kennett have had a whirlwind year in their rise to recognition as Louis the Child. The teenaged pair made their Coachella debut in April, received acknowledgement from Taylor Swift for their hit single “It’s Strange,” and completed their own headlining North America tour.

Continuing their hot streak, Louis the Child join forces with Swedish pop divas, Icona Pop to create a surefire summer anthem, “Weekend.” While the singers chant upbeat, radio-friendly lyrics, the future pop producers pull their weight by crafting a winning instrumental backdrop driven by sharp percussive rhythms and a howling lead synth.
