Lofi Girl returns with a new house music station and vinyl compilation
The old "where'd lofi girl go" trick again, I see.
Lofi Girl returns with a new house music station and vinyl compilation. There's also a new, well, Lofi Grown Man.
New Lofi House Station
Lofi Girl just launched a new 24/7 streaming station called Lofi House. As the name suggests, the channel exclusively plays house music. It streams on YouTube, just like the other affiliated channels. All of this music is made by humans, and not generative AI. That's been a staple of the Lofi Girl brand since it came on the scene.
Compilation and Vinyl Release
To that end, the affiliated label Lofi Records has made a compilation that highlights 19 artists that contribute to Lofi House. Featured artists include:
- Akraam
- lofi cassette
- KBS
- Nabuko
- and many more
This compilation is now available to stream on just about every major platform, including:
YouTube MusicSpotifyDeezerApple Music- among others
These songs will also be available in a physical format. That's right - there's a vinyl release coming down the pike. The label has released dozens of vinyl collections and they tend to sell out pretty fast. Pre-orders are open right now.
New Host: Julien Maison
Finally, the Lofi House station isn't hosted by the iconic Lofi Girl, who is actually named Jade. Instead, the brand has introduced a fictional lofi dude named Julien Maison, aka Lofi Teacher. He's described as a "30-year-old high-school biology teacher" and "the kind of teacher students remember as the cool one." He also has a fairly robust mustache.
Jade has been missing from the original stream, which is a trick the brand has pulled before prior to the launch of a new channel.
Original Channel Stats
The original Lofi Girl YouTube channel has been around for over a decade now and has amassed nearly 16 million followers. At any given moment there are thousands of people checking out the stream. That's a whole lot of exposure for artists.
Other Lofi Channels
Of course, this isn't the first new channel that's been introduced. There's one dedicated to synthwave, which is hosted by Lofi Boy. Other channels play classical, hip-hop, jazz and more. As of this writing, there's still no Lofi Death Metal channel. This is probably because it's very hard to study with that on in the background.
