Copenhagen-based indie supergroup Clean Out Louis is back with their latest single, “I’m In Love”, a track that captures the exhilarating yet nerve-wracking experience of falling in love. The duo, consisting of Sylvester Zabello and Mingus Runge, has already made waves with their unique take on pop music, and “I’m In Love” marks another milestone in their emerging career.
After introducing their quirky pop sound earlier this year with their debut single “Foreigner”, Clean Out Louis continues to showcase their distinctive style with their new release. Featuring wobbly synths and a reggae-inspired groove, “I’m In Love” is a charming bop that fits perfectly with the duo’s eclectic musical approach.
The duo describes “I’m In Love” as a song about the challenges of new love and the fear of taking a leap of faith. “It’s about all the things you could be with this person if you’d only dare,” they explain. “But out of fear of what might go wrong, the relationship doesn’t move forward. It’s a naïve and contradictory approach to the subject, however, written with optimism even though love remains a fantasy.”
This relatable exploration of love’s emotional highs and lows is what gives “I’m In Love” its unique charm. The song’s lyrics express the hopeful, yet hesitant feeling of being in love, while the upbeat and lighthearted production keeps it from feeling too heavy. This balance of introspective lyricism and infectious melody is quickly becoming a signature for Clean Out Louis.
Although Zabello and Runge are only 23, their musical experience and talent have positioned Clean Out Louis as a rising force in the indie music scene. Sylvester Zabello has made a name for himself as the guitarist of alternative pop band Høker, while Mingus Runge has served as the drummer for Turbolens, a project led by Bo Madsen of the renowned band Mew.
Clean Out Louis made an impressive debut this past spring with “Foreigner”, a track that garnered attention from major music outlets like COLORS and Ones To Watch. The single’s music video, which premiered on Office Magazine, portrayed a nightmare scenario that resonated with viewers, further cementing the duo’s unique artistic vision. In Denmark, the respected music publication GAFFA even compared Clean Out Louis to legendary acts like Stereo MC’s and Gorillaz, solidifying their status as an indie band to watch.
As they continue to evolve, Clean Out Louis’s new single “I’m In Love” is poised to captivate both new listeners and longtime fans. With its catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and fresh sound, the song offers a glimpse into the bright future ahead for this talented duo. Keep an eye out for what’s next as Clean Out Louis embraces the autumn season with new music that is sure to resonate.
