New Music: Lea Michele - "Louder"

lea michele promo shot louder album

Listen now to the title track from Lea Michele’s upcoming debut album “Louder”, due in stores on March 4 on Columbia Records. “Louder” is an inspiring song that Lea exclusively premiered today (January 13) via Billboard.com, just a day ahead of its iTunes release. After “Battlefield”, “Louder” is the second iTunes Countdown single from Lea’s album as a part of a Columbia Records strategy to generate buzz.

Besides generating buzz, the release of these individual singles on iTunes is also about the money. And I’m not sure if Columbia is following the right approach with Lea’s album. The first single “Cannonball” isn’t doing it on the charts, and the first iTunes Countdown single “Battlefield” is nowhere to be found on the Top 100 on iTunes USA. It did reach the Top 100 the day of release, and it stayed there a few days after that, but it then went into complete oblivion. So I'm not sure the “iTunes Countdown Singles” strategy is the best for Lea’s album. They’re giving away a lot of songs from it (three more until February 25th) and these are making no impact whatsoever.

Anyway, as for “Louder” (the song), Lea told Billboard.com it was one of the last songs she recorded for the album. It’s nice inspiring record, and it showcases Lea’s vocals really well. I like the chorus, and synth-pop production. “Louder” is clearly an album track, though. No way this could ever be a single.
