Louis Futon Releases a Striking Cover of J. Cole’s “Kevin Heart”

J. Cole dropped “Kevin’s Heart” as a part of his recently anticipated album, KOD. It was not long before it caught the eye of electronic music producer, Louis Futon. The artist announced that he immediately had a vision for this song once he heard it, “Days after J Cole dropped his new project, KOD, I was listening to “Kevin’s Heart” and had a really cool idea to flip it so I called up Bellah, BXRBER, and Armani White.” Soon enough, Futon stunned fans with this unique and captivating track.

With the help of Bellah, BXRBER, and Armani White, Louis Futon blends enchanting vocals, rap, and instrumentals to create this funky beat. This is definitely not the first time he has dabbled with hip-hop and R&B; some of his well-known flips include songs by Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar. Although he is generally classified as an electronic music producer, Louis Futon has ushered in a totally new and soulful sound which allows him to stand out sharply amongst the rest. His signature fusion of synths and harmonies are easily recognizable—a talent like Futon’s is hard to compare!
