When I Fall

L'aupaire

Vertigo (Europe) / Ingrooves (UK/Irl and ROW)

WE SAY

L’aupaire is the moniker of Berlin-based folk-pop artist Robert Laupert, and this warm slice of acoustic goodness is his latest release. Signed to Vertigo/Universal in Europe and label services via Ingrooves in the UK and Rest of the World, Robert has, over the past couple of years, gained a loyal following with over 80m combined streams. Taken from his forthcoming third album (due out in spring 2022), this open-armed lullaby sees the rising star rooting for deeper connections and togetherness. Upon release last month, When I Fall featured on Spotify Germany’s New Music Friday playlist, alongside additions to Acoustic Summer and Brand New Indie. Deserving of plays across Radio 2, 6 Music, Virgin and Absolute, this tranquil and triumphant gem is a beautiful listen. Watch the picturesque video here. He’s just completed a string of sold-out shows in Germany, his first tour in 18 months, with international festivals and dates in the planning for the rest of the year and into 2022. For fans of Jack Savoretti, Foy Vance and Ben Howard.
