MADRID, Spain, October 24, 2026. Every new world needs a travel guide. Planeta Gayfolk, the musical universe created by Madrid-based lyricist, composer and music producer Mike Sain't Louis, has grown into a large and sometimes overwhelming territory: hundreds of songs, three main albums, recurring characters, favourite seaside towns and a diary that keeps adding new stories. This release is written for the curious newcomer who has heard the name and does not know where to begin.
First, the basics. Mike Sain't Louis writes the lyrics, composes and produces, and directs the visual side of each release. The music and the vocal performance are made with AI, something he states openly and explains on his website. He presents himself as the first AI songwriter, «el primer cantautor IA». Everything he releases can be streamed and downloaded for free, with no account and no payment.
What kind of planet is it?
Planeta Gayfolk is an imaginary place where queer people can live without hiding. It is not a utopia made of sugar. The planet has its villains, its liars and its bad nights, and many songs deal with heartbreak, manipulation and mental health. But it also has neighbourhood gossip, beach holidays, camp comedy and pride anthems. Its defining tone is a very Spanish mix: laughing hard at something that hurt, and then, one line later, saying the painful truth plainly.
GAYFOLK is the name of the music made on this planet. It borrows from electronic pop, dance tracks, ballads, rumba and Spanish summer songs, and it moves freely between Spanish and English.
The three-stage journey
The main story is told in a trilogy of albums, designed to be heard in order.
The first stage is discovery. «Descubierto un nuevo planeta llamado Gayfolk» is the album in which the planet is found and explored for the first time. It mixes bright dance tracks with some of the most intimate songs in the catalogue.
The second stage is longing. «Ojalá Se Pudiera Viajar a Gayfolk», roughly "If only you could travel to Gayfolk", is about wanting to get there: the frustration of living in a world that does not yet feel safe and the dream of a place that does.
The third stage is arrival. «El día de la liberación», Liberation Day, is the moment of landing, when the long journey finally ends.
Listeners who want the full experience should start at the beginning of the first album and travel forward. Those who prefer to wander can simply open the song list and pick any title that catches their eye.
Where to land: two websites, two roles
The project lives on two sites with different jobs. gayfolkplanet.com is the planet itself. It holds a page for every song, with the full lyric published exactly as written, the artwork, streaming links and the official video, plus a shop where every album can be downloaded at no cost.
mikesaintlouis.com is the author's archive. It gathers the lyrics in alphabetical order, a blog that tells the story behind many songs in Spanish, an English section for international readers and a downloads page with the complete discography.
What to pack: a sense of humour and an open mind
Visitors should be ready for jokes about supermarkets, cruise-ship buffets, television talk shows and gossiping neighbours, often within the same song as a serious reflection on loneliness or recovery. They should also expect strong language from time to time, because Planeta Gayfolk speaks the way real people speak in Madrid bars and on WhatsApp.
A few landmarks worth visiting
Benidorm appears again and again as the planet's favourite holiday resort, a place where everyday rules loosen. Madrid is the home base, present in its slang and its streets. Night clubs, rooftops and beaches set the scene for the dance tracks, while small bedrooms and empty corridors frame the quieter songs. Recurring figures include the liar who plays the victim, the friend who offers advice over a drink and the narrator who survives, sometimes shaking, sometimes dancing.
A note on care
Some songs touch on depression and anxiety. Mike Sain't Louis has spoken publicly about living with post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety and about the treatment that is helping him today, sharing it to encourage others to seek help sooner. In Spain, anyone going through a crisis, including thoughts of suicide, can call 024, a free and confidential line open 24 hours a day; in an emergency, 112.
The image
The illustration accompanying this release is a hand-drawn style planet with pink rings floating in a starry sky, surrounded by small moons. It shows no people at all, only the destination.
