New single ’1989 (Get Together)’

‘1989 (Get Together)’ is out today and is the fifth single taken from the seventh Louis La Roche studio album ‘The New Now’.

'1989 (Get Together)' is a tribute to the year 1989, the 'Second Summer Of Love', Acid House, Raves and the UK's love of House Music.

In the late 80's House Music had exploded in the UK. Records where being made in the USA and Europe but were only charting high in the UK. Acid House in particular was huge at this time and was crossing over into the mainstream. Raves were super popular as a result, and so it was branded the 'Second Summer Of Love'. Many classic dance records were born out of this time, Ten City 'The Way Love Is', Joe Smooth - 'Promised Land', Black Box 'Ride On Time'. All these records were released in 1989. In the years following, the UK goverment fought back against music deemed 'wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats', resulting in the Criminal Justice Bill, making the raves illegal. So when Louis sat down to write this song, he wanted to recapture that feeling, to experience that joy that the ravers had at that time.

‘The New Now’ is released July 31st on Ever After Records.
