In distinction and dichotomy, SG Lewis finds the sounds of his second studio album, AudioLust & HigherLove. The LP, due January 27, 2023 through Astralwerks, is conceptually “break up into two worlds.” “AudioLust is the darker, lusty, infatuated, short-lived, and ego-driven model of affection,” he says. “The second half represents a a lot deeper, actualized, and fulfilled model of affection.”
The follow-up to Lewis’ debut album instances—named Dancing Astronaut‘s 2021 Album of the Yr—will function a research on love and its dimensions. Typically it’s chimeric and typically, it actually hooks us; Lewis explored these elements on “Lacking You / One thing About Your Love,” a double A-side single launched forward of AudioLust & HigherLove‘s announcement. On “Vibe Like This / Infatuation,” the second twofer of the rollout, Lewis lyrically courts the attraction, the enamor, and the downright obsession that may include each sorts of love. “Vibe Like This,” a viscous outing made in tandem with Ty Dolla $ign and Fortunate Daye, seems like an offshoot of Funk Wav sound that’s individualized by Lewis’ personal slinky and soulful idiosyncrasies. “Infatuation” cranks up the “I need you” dial, candidly and unabashedly craving for the article of affection. It’s value noting that three of the 4 album singles have used Lewis’ personal vocals, and press surrounding the forthcoming venture guarantees that his voice will likely be featured “extra prominently than ever earlier than.”
From its idea to its sound, AudioLust & HigherLove helps Lewis’ feeling that he “exists within the house between DJing and being an artist,” and at this level, it’s no secret that he toggles between each modes with dexterity. However this LP is born from each the sensibilities and skills of every, and in making it, Lewis artistically stretched his legs and stepped outdoors his inventive consolation zone. “The majority of the album was written throughout a sequence of intensive studio residencies within the top of the pandemic, with the assistance of some extremely proficient mates, and allowed me to discover myself as an artist in a manner that I might by no means have dared earlier than,” he explains. We’re rattling glad he did.
