Louis The Child And Elohim Reach For The Past On “Wish You Were Here”

Louis The Child and Elohim have been circling each other for the better part of a decade. “Wish You Were Here”, out August 21, 2026, is their third time in a room together, and it lands like the one where both sides finally stopped compromising.

It feels like a memory you cannot quite get back to. Elohim writes tender and a little raw, and Freddy Kennett and Robby Hauldren build something bright, fuzzy, and glitchy underneath her, so the track keeps grinning while the lyrics reach backward for something that is already gone. That gap between how it feels and what it says is the whole trick.

“Third time’s the charm for us and Elohim. This one is lyrically emotional but sonically carefree and fun. It feels very true to where we’re both at, and we’re so proud to have maintained such a great collaborative relationship with Elohim.” – Louis The Child

The two first linked on “Love Is Alive” in 2017, and the chemistry has held across everything since. Louis The Child have spent that stretch carving out one of the more durable lanes in American dance music, built on melody and a refusal to take themselves too seriously, and this is a clean reminder of why that run has lasted.
