![]() ![]() The lead single “Folks” eases in with a Gorillaz-like beat with the lyrics expressing and affirming throughout the steady song “’Cause I’m never gonna be alright.” LØREN recalled that the topic of the song came pretty easily when a lot of people were “talking shit” about him. His first EP Put Up A Fight perfectly encapsulates the feeling of thrashing and shredding. LØREN eventually signed to Teddy’s project THEBLACKLABEL within the big K-Pop company and has been redirecting his energy to making music that he enjoys immensely: rock. He co-wrote BLACKPINK’s solitude banger “Lovesick Girls” and G-Dragon’s “개소리 (BULLSHIT)” with resident YG Entertainment producer Teddy Park. The 27-year-old musician never really performed in front of audiences, but he’s behind some of your favorite songs. “People found it interesting that a bunch of Asian kids showed up and took the crowd away.” The show itself showcased Asian artists-those from the region and those who are of the diaspora, like Singaporean bedroom pop artist Shye and Malaysian singer-songwriter Lunadira. Over the past weekend, he announced that he was signing with the Asian-American-based label and played one of his first gigs-ever-at SXSW in Austin, Texas at Tiger’s Den, an event hosted by the Korean music collective Balming Tiger. “It’s kind of surreal that I’m sitting at a studio with records behind me,” he tells StyleCaster over Zoom, pointing at the two gold-plated disks hanging on the background wall. It’s Korean rockstar LØREN’s first time performing ever in the States and he’s casually twirling his vape in the 88rising offices in Los Angeles. ![]()
