Lou Phelps shares new single ‘IS MY MIC ON?’ ahead of KAYTRANADA-produced sophomore album “CHÈLBÈ”

Rising Haitian-Canadian artist Lou Phelps releases latest single "IS MY MIC ON?” the second release from his new album, Chèlbè, set to release April 4th. As a follow up to "I Dunno," and “What Now”  this new track proves Phelps’s finesse in sculpting razor-sharp narratives with unshakable poise and rhythm.
 
"IS MY MIC ON?" is a bold, high-energy anthem packed with razor-sharp lyricism and effortless swagger. Its infectious groove and commanding presence pull listeners in while sleek production adds a polished, refined edge. With its irresistible groove and effortless confidence, the track embodies the essence of the album’s Creole title, Chèlbè—meaning 'well put-together' or 'fly.' It’s a striking showcase of Phelp’s sharp artistic vision and unmistakable style.

Produced entirely by award-winning producer—and Lou’s brother—KAYTRANADA, Chèlbè is an 11-track album that elevates Lou Phelps from Montreal’s underground favorite to international tastemaker in his own right. Chèlbè features a collaboration with GoldLink on “After i” and showcases Phelp’s multilingual approach, weaving between English, French, and Haitian Creole to create a uniquely cosmopolitan sound.

“I wanted to tap into that nostalgic feeling back from when I was a kid and always wanting to be part of this rap game. The track is about keeping it fun while being a little vulnerable with my fans and to encourage them not to let that dream slip away”." - Lou Phelps
