Holding On - SG Lewis

SG Lewis transcends the dancefloor on ‘AudioLust & HigherLove’

SG Lewis' new album, "AudioLust and HigherLove," is a game-changer in his career. With this sophomore album, SG Lewis transcends the dancefloor and explores love in a way that goes beyond that initial meeting on a drunk night out. It's an album that's not just for the dancefloor but feels good enough to listen to on a random Tuesday.

The album's production is on a whole different level, and SG Lewis leans into the emotion of his voice further than he's ever done before. He spent the last few years collaborating with the likes of Nile Rogers, Elton John, and Dua Lipa, and he's taken all the inspiration from this work and channeled it into his own project, which matches up to these levels of production.

The album was started during the initial lockdown, when SG Lewis couldn't easily find vocalists to collaborate with, so he had to rely on his own voice. There are only three songs on the album that feature collaborations, and everything else is him. Despite this, there is not a single moment on the album that drags. It's watertight and feels like a cohesive and complete project.

The One of One today is "Holding On" by SG Lewis, one of the standout tracks from the album. It has an 80’s disco intro big enough for a Whitney track, and the layers on the vocals bring such a warmth to the track that makes the lead up to the chorus feel euphoric. The contrast of stories about lust and infatuation, alongside that more romantic, fulfilled version of love, makes this double album an ambitious record that SG Lewis has delivered on once again, as he's achieved with all his projects.

SG Lewis' "AudioLust and HigherLove" is a must-listen album. It's a game-changer in his career. With this album, SG Lewis has taken all the inspiration from his collaborations with some of the biggest names in music and channeled it into a project that matches up to these levels of production. "Holding On" is just one of the standout tracks from this incredible album that's worth checking out.
