Today’s tracks land alongside the news of SG Lewis’ second full-length album Audio Lust & Higher Love, in which the singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer builds on the kaleidoscopic future-disco of his debut album times, in an expansive and ambitious record made of two halves: on one end of the spectrum, he crafts the kind of nocturnal bangers that dancefloors, underground raves, pool parties, and festivals subsist on.
On the other end, he accesses a higher level of timeless pop ecstasy anchored by just the right amount of breezy hook-laden rock, organic instrumentation, and vocal eloquence. He suits one mood to the adrenaline rush of your wildest night out, and he tailors another to the blissful ride home at sunrise. It’s a diverse collection of classic but deeply contemporary cuts from one of the richest production talents of the last decade and includes a blockbuster collection of guests (details TBA), alongside SG’s own vocals which are featured more prominently than ever before.
“The album is clearly split into two worlds,” SG Lewis explains. “AudioLust is the darker, lusty, infatuated, short-lived, and ego-driven version of love. The second half represents a much deeper, actualized, and fulfilled version of love. Songs fall on either half of the record. I feel like I exist in the space between DJing and being an artist. The bulk of the album was written across a series of intensive studio residencies in the height of the pandemic, with the help of some incredibly talented friends, and allowed me to explore myself as an artist in a way that I would never have dared before.”
SG Lewis has cemented his status as one music’s most sought after producers, collaborating with the likes of Elton John, Clairo, Khalid, Aluna, Victoria Monet, Raye, Ray BLK, The Neptunes/N.E.R.D’s Chad Hugo, Gerd Janson, Conducta + many more across his illustrious career. His debut album times, released last year, saw one of modern pop’s secret weapons stepping out front and centre with widespread critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, NME, Evening Standard, Clash, GQ, Notion, Mixmag + many more.
LP highlight track ‘Chemicals’ amassed over 55 million Spotify streams and counting, catapulting SG Lewis’ total stream count to over 1.4 billion and most recently, Louis Vuitton launched their pre-Fall campaign with Soulwax’s remix of ‘Impact’ (featuring Robyn & Channel Tres). Behind the scenes, SG Lewis produced Dave’s seminal breakout track ‘100M’s’ and co-wrote ‘Hallucinate’ for Dua Lipa’s record-smashing number one album, Future Nostalgia.
That rare UK artist capable of making a splash on both sides of the Atlantic (and beyond), SG Lewis has performed prime-time slots at the likes of Coachella, Glastonbury, and sold out an intimate date at London’s Somerset House earlier this summer. With an extensive US tour (50,000 tickets) announced as below, including a landmark show at LA’s iconic Greek Theatre, watch out for much more from SG Lewis coming soon.
