Lou Roy – “Down Since 07”
In January, Los Angeles singer-songwriter Lou Roy announced her Vegas-inspired debut studio album, Pure Chaos, co-produced by Illuminati Hotties’ Sarah Tudzin. At the time, we got a mesmerizing lead single, “Uppercut,” and now we’re getting a follow-up called “Down Since 07,” which, despite appearances, is not about being depressed since 2007.
“More than one person has thought that this song is about me being depressed since 2007,” Roy said in a statement. “I used to say they were wrong and that it’s purely about being down to bang someone I met in 2007.”
She added: “I try to come off real calm, cool, and collected initially as if I totally know what I’m after. However, by the end, I’m screaming about how down I am for this relationship, for sex….but it isn’t quite the joyful yodel into a lush canyon echoing back to me that I’d planned for. So yeah, shit, ‘Down Since ‘07’ might actually be about being all fucked up since 2007, and listeners knew it before I did.”
