NEW MUSIC: RHYS LEWIS | ALONE

Rhys Lewis has already caught the public's attention with his songs of heartbreak, many of which have featured on some of the biggest television shows. But it is his love of performing live, a curiosity about his craft, command of his instruments, and impressive vocal ability that have taken him around the world, racking up legions of loyal fans along the way. His brand new single, "Alone," signifies a major life shift for the Oxfordshire-born artist. After years of living in the capital city, Rhys decided to step away. On a bit plot of land in the countryside, he found comfort in simple loneliness. While the performer missed touring and the thrill of the stage, it was here that Rhys had the space to redefine who he was as a musician and ever-growing creative and discover his new sound. In contrast to its title, "Alone" is an optimistic song. This perfectly crafted pop gem sets mesmeric strings against Rhys’ soaring vocals as he dreams of escape. With a phenomenal 620 million lifetime streams to date, the BBC Introducing favourite has seen 200 million streams for the standout single, "No Right To Love You," the same song that caught the attention of Decca Records. Heading into his biggest summer yet, Rhys is set to take his new music around Europe, having landed an extensive international tour with American singer, songwriter and television host Eric Nam. Kicking off this weekend in Scotland, Rhys will play in Manchester before two London shows (O2 Forum Kentish Town and O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire), then embarking upon 12 European dates.
