The Counting Crows frontman opens up about rewriting songs, reflecting on the past, and what music still gives him today.
Lou Val has made fans out of some of the top players in his native Toronto’s closely-knit music scene, and for good reason.
As the title suggests, his latest work, Goûter, provides a taste of what the singer/songwriter does best. Syrupy R&B-tinged vocals draw from memory and life lessons, tempered by washed out guitars and silky drum loops. This brand of post-Frank Ocean genre-bending finds its natural successor in Lou Val.
