lead curator/writer

Love You Later, also known to some as Lexi Aviles, is soon to be your new favorite indie-pop artist. Originally from Orange County, California, she now calls Nashville, Tennessee her home. “Are You Gonna Care When I Die?” is the second single ahead of her upcoming EP, From The Window Seat, out May 5th. The single is calling out anyone who made you question if they cared with an upbeat flare. It’s all the questions left unanswered bubbling on the surface, and now it’s ready to spill over. At one point she sings, “Will I be worth a mention once I make it in the credits? Will you finally pay attention when you hear I’m on my deathbed?” It’s almost gentle in her delivery, yet you can feel her fury at its peak. This song makes you want to sing along (I would recommend doing it while driving with friends) and drive by the house of whoever made you question everything.

Love You Later spoke about how “Are You Gonna Care When I Die?” was a result of the music industry not taking her seriously. She explained, “I realized that the attention from these people was not worth my time or energy, and ultimately did not define me. The song is a constant reminder to myself to regain my voice and power to tell my own story. The ones that are meant to notice, will notice. Ultimately, it’s a song for anyone who feels insignificant and undermined.”
