Heralding a season of self-love and radiance, alt-pop artist Nicolas McCoppin enchants fans with his new dance-pop single, L.E.S. Boy. Released on June 9, 2023, the track takes its listeners on a joyride through McCoppin’s metamorphic journey, encapsulating his experiences of resilience, love, loss, and rebirth. Born amidst the buzz of Manhattan’s East Village, L.E.S. Boy beams with the vibrant energy of a city that never sleeps, while echoing the pulse of its creator’s personal evolution.
Featuring an enchanting blend of bright melodies and industrial textures, L.E.S. Boy harnesses the power of dance to traverse the terrains of heartbreak, mental health, self-discovery, and more. The song is an audacious exploration of the aftermath of severed codependency, wherein emptiness looms large, compelling one to seek solace within oneself. It encapsulates McCoppin’s journey of introspection, his struggle against the abyss of confusion, and his eventual triumph of self-confidence, illustrating the poignant beauty of a soul’s rebirth in the face of betrayal.
McCoppin says, “’L.E.S. Boy’ is the first chapter of my rediscovery. I had to find a version of myself that could survive betrayal by two of the closest people in my life. Creating ‘L.E.S. Boy’ helped me express and uncover the person I was becoming.”
In a powerful fusion of personal experience and vibrant melodies, L.E.S. Boy captures the exhilaration of Pride month. As a passionate member of the LGBTQ+ community, McCoppin has consciously sculpted the song into a soundtrack for Pride celebrations, reflecting his own deep-rooted love for this special time of year.
This soaring anthem is a testament to the audacious spirit of anyone who has dared to love, endured the pain of loss, and navigated the turbulent sea of emotions in between. The uplifting chorus and melodic beats create a buoyant soundscape, mirroring the invincible spirit of McCoppin. He shares, “This song is for everyone who has loved, lost, and felt every emotion in between. I hope L.E.S. boy can provide listeners with the same sense of serenity and joy it brought me.”
This rising star’s journey goes beyond just a single release. 2021 was a pivotal year for McCoppin, marking his entry into the music industry with the official US radio debut of the lead single “Heaven.” McCoppin’s music, laden with rich narratives, and pop music elements, coupled with his commitment to LGBTQ+ representation, has drawn accolades from notable publications and recognition from a global audience. No wonder he bagged a licensing distribution deal with Beatroot, LLC / Made In Memphis Entertainment in May 2023, paving the way for an exhilarating future in pop music.
L.E.S. Boy is a striking collaboration involving high-profile artists and engineers. The song’s heartfelt lyrics were penned by Zach Beebe, Earth To Emily, Nick Trapani, and McCoppin himself. The sonic tapestry was woven by Grammy-winning mastering engineer Demitrius Lewis II, while the enchanting visuals were brought to life by Devin Kasparian and Guillermo Cardenas. The final product, an exhilarating dance-pop anthem, was released under the umbrella of Loverboy Recordings, LLC exclusively licensed to Beatroot, LLC.
McCoppin’s dedication to creating inclusive pop music has already left an indelible mark on the industry, and with L.E.S. Boy, he continues to strengthen his commitment. The song is not only a dance-worthy track but a beacon of resilience and self-love, guiding listeners through their own journeys of self-discovery, one beat at a time.
