Fondly referred to as “the people’s DJ” by his most loyal fans, Le Youth is unapologetically himself and fearless when challenging the status quo. His debut album Reminders was released in May 2022 and since it’s release has gone on to be streamed over 22.1 million times. Le Youth has firmly established himself as a creative force and just announced his anticipated sophomore album, ABOUT US, releasing on September 29, 2023. The album features everything you'd expect from Le Youth, with breezy melodies, rich production and incredible vocal performances. The album features collaborations with the likes of Jodie Knight, Fractures, Bailey as well as label head Lane 8 who collaborated with Wes on ‘I Will Leave a Light On'. It’s a real statement of intent for Wes, not only sonically, but also on the live front as he embarks on his most ambitious tour to date. A 30-date tour across North America & Canada bringing his In The Round show to select iconic venues such as The Fonda, Brooklyn Steel and The Ogden, among others.

ABOUT US is an all-encompassing statement, one that over the past year has grown into so much more than a collection of songs. This statement is deeply rooted in Le Youth's mantra and show experience, breaking down the barrier between artist and fan. He has also curated an entire 360° show concept to go along with the album, ‘In The Round’, that has him fully immersed in the crowd. “It’s not about me, it’s about us,” he passionately states,
accentuating that without you, Le Youth wouldn’t and couldn’t be who/what it is today.

who are you really? is a line in the sand moment for the LA based Le Youth, a collection of highly emotive songs that are aimed at spotlighting the shared human experience and the tendency for it to be all too frequently forgotten in online conversation. It is this emotional common ground that he explores throughout the 14 tracks. The notion that we all share some of the same lived reality is one that he hopes can help further expose the societal norm of online cognitive distortion... the belittling of people online, tearing down others and voicing negative opinions without ever truly knowing the human at the focal point of their discontent.

Threaded through the record is a quieter admission: that in asking who we really are, he’s also reckoning with the fear that beyond Le Youth, he isn’t sure he knows himself at all anymore. The album exists somewhere between a personal diary and a quiet self-interrogation, capturing the tension of trying to understand yourself while the world watches . The album’s intimacy, the mundane moments, the messiness and stillness of daily life are all part of the answer he’s searching for; a reminder that identity doesn’t only live on stage but in the unnoticed corners of a day.

On who are you really? Le Youth invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and how they interact online, all whilst trying to remind us that what binds us together can outshine the divisiveness, as long as we are willing to let it. It’s both a question and a mirror, asking just as much of him as it does of anyone who listens.
