Isaac Roux's Debut Album ‘Troubled Waters’ Out Now

Louis De Roo already knows a thing or two about what life can throw at a person, yet this young Belgian songwriter is still very much on the threshold of a promising international musical career. His debut album ‘Troubled Waters’ as Isaac Roux is out now.

From a young age on, De Roo has always had a good nose for edgy and heavenly indie folk, and in 2015 he was among the happy few admitted to Paul McCartney’s LIPA school of arts. Walking out with a certificate and a perfect English accent a few years later, De Roo had the gift to put his emotions and soul into songs wrapped in guitars that build up at the right moment. Think: Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Asgeir and Fleet Foxes.

Now there’s debut album ‘Troubled Waters’, an indie folk album which in the hands of producer Bert Vliegen (Whispering Sons, DIRK., Meltheads) also embraces its bright and poppy side. Opening track and lead single Brotherhood is a breathtakingly beautiful piano ballad about a lost friendship. On tracks like Colours, When It Storms and Golden, Isaac Roux sounds epic, even more evident live, while tracks like Autumn Love, Reflections, U&I and Soaking Skin show his more intimate and delicate side

Setiap lagu, sarta album sakuliahna, nyadiakeun pendengar hiji wawasan ka kahirupan De Roo, anu teu pernah gampang, ngantosan yén musik anjeunna bisa nyadiakeun jalma dina situasi anu sarua kitu pikeun nyandak.
