Lewis‘ first ever physical release of the critically acclaimed “Bloom EP”.Clear vinyl & scented inner sleeve.Lewis has decided to release a physical version due to popular fan demand and to support independent record shops.

The songwriter hails from the Scottish town of Bathgate, and made an enormous impressive with debut cut ‘Bruises’. Since then his profile has exploded, with the Scottish artist set to play a sold out 600 capacity show in Glasgow shortly.

The new EP contains four tracks, recorded at various locations on both sides of the Atlantic during Lewis’ explosive rise. “I’m over the moon to be finally putting out a full EP,” he explains. “It’s a collection of songs that captures the last year of my life, and features songs I recorded in London, New York and Los Angeles. Songs Fade & Mercy were recorded only a few months ago so they’re almost as fresh to me as anybody else listening.”

Since Sahara Beck released her first full album, Volume One, in 2011 at the tender age of 15, critics and fans have known that the Queensland-based singer/songwriter was a rising star. Turns out her star was destined to rise pretty quickly, and just last week, Beck took home the People’s Choice Award for Most Popular Female at the Queensland Music Awards. With the current release of her second EP, Bloom, she has further developed the syncopated, sunshine-y style that has been winning over audiences in Queensland and beyond.

A powerful track from Bloom, “Brother Sister,” showcases her acoustic, alt-folk style, with thumping, textural percussion and carefully layered backing vocals. The track centers around a heartfelt, almost haunting tale, proving that Beck has a sense of wisdom and insight far beyond her years, and a natural storytelling gift that she uses to craft earnest pictures of life, death, love and beyond.
