La La Land releases album of 13 protest tracks

Listeners can stream a new collection of music that directly funds resettlement services for displaced people in the state. The album, titled Take It Back!, went live on the digital platform Bandcamp on October 30, 2026. It features thirteen original tracks recorded in the studio by musicians based in Kentucky. The project was organized by La La Land, a recording studio located in Louisville.

Proceeds from the release go to Kentucky Refugee Ministries, a non-profit organization. KRM provides legal aid, resettlement assistance, and community support to refugees. The group works with faith-based partners to help newcomers integrate into local Kentucky communities. The studio described the effort as a way to amplify voices for those who feel unheard.

The tracks span multiple genres, including folk, rock, hip-hop, punk, and bilingual Latin music. Themes address immigration raids, democracy, faith, climate change, and community solidarity. In a statement, the studio noted that the artists answered the moment in their own voices. The release emphasizes free speech and human dignity in the context of current events.

Thirteen distinct artists contributed to the compilation. The roster includes 10th Street Dre and The Ministry of Truth, Houseplant, Joe Clark, LOUIE V Edsel, Mason Colby, mothbaby, Yapa!, Glenn Davis, Nick Teale, Precious Perez, StellAura, The Histrionics, and Hex Hex Hex. Each track was recorded live in the studio space.

The project was designed to raise collective voices in solidarity with immigrants. The studio stated that love and compassion trump hate and division. The album is now available for purchase and streaming on Bandcamp.
