Album Review: She’s Got A Little Bit by King Louie
Alright, let me just say this—King Louie’s She’s Got A Little Bit is one of those albums that sneaks up on you. It doesn’t hit you over the head with flashy gimmicks or overproduced beats. Instead, it feels like a late-night chat with an old friend—raw, real, and kinda unforgettable. Coming out of the UK rock scene under OneIota Records, this album has that gritty charm that makes you wanna crank the volume and forget about your bad day.
First off, can we talk about "Milky Way"? This track is pure magic. Like, I didn’t expect to care so much about a song with such a chill vibe, but here we are. The guitar riffs feel like they’re floating through space (pun totally intended), and King Louie’s vocals? Dude sounds like he’s singing from some cosmic bar where everyone knows your name. There’s something about how Matt Hay produced this one—it’s not trying too hard, but man, does it work. You’ll find yourself humming it hours later, even if you don’t realize it at first. Honestly, “Milky Way” feels less like a song and more like a vibe you want to live in forever.
Then there’s the title track, “She’s Got A Little Bit.” Oh boy. If Milky Way is the dreamy escape, this one’s the punch-in-the-gut reality check. King Louie wrote this thing with lyrics sharp enough to cut glass. He’s talking about someone who’s got layers—you know, the kind of person who keeps you guessing but never lets you down. The rhythm hits hard, almost like it’s daring you to sit still while listening. And props to Louie Nicastro for engineering this beast because every beat lands exactly where it needs to. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re hooked. It’s messy, honest, and kinda perfect all at once.
Let’s not skip the credits here—they matter. Ken Ansell nailed the design; the cover art screams “rock ‘n roll without apology.” Ben Dragon’s illustrations add this cool edge that matches the music perfectly. And yeah, kudos to Matt Hay again for pulling everything together. These guys clearly put their hearts into making this album feel cohesive yet unpredictable.
So yeah, She’s Got A Little Bit isn’t gonna change the world or anything dramatic like that. But it might change your week. Or at least give you something solid to blast in your car when life feels dull. What sticks with me most? How unapologetically human it feels. Like, you can tell King Louie wasn’t chasing trends—he was just telling stories.
Oh, and random thought: Listening to this album makes me wonder what King Louie would be like at a BBQ. Would he bring the good chips? Or just show up with a six-pack and a story no one saw coming? Either way, count me in.
