Dean Lewis Releases New Song “Empire”
Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis will release his upcoming third studio album “The Epilogue” this Friday (October 18th) via Island Records.
From the album, he release the sixth and finale pre-release single called “Empire” on October 14, 2024.
The track was written by Dean Lewis, Hayden Robert Hubers, and Jeremy Fedryk. Produced by Sarcastic Sounds and Dean Lewis.
Dean Lewis said of the song, “I wrote it about a friend who gave up so much time to support my dreams before going out on her own; its me saying 'go follow your dreams and if the wind ever breaks down your windows i'll be here'. Its about feeling alone without her. 'It’s The fall of an empire' the crumbling of that relationship, 'the wind spreads the blue fire' the blue fire being hottest, most emotional, how quickly and powerfully great memories are washed away. And even though now she’s gone, I was still holding onto the hope that we’d kinda forget about it all and be close again. I hope the song connects to you like it did to me.”- The new album comprise 17 songs, featuring a guest appearance from American singer-songwriter Sasha Alex Sloan.
This marks his first album in two years since the 2022 album “The Hardest Love”.
Dean Lewis said of the album, “My first album had a level of rawness. For the second, I was a little more cautious and pop-oriented, but the songs were meaningful to me. On this record, I started to get rawer and more acoustic again. I was trying to rekindle the simplicity of why things worked. I knew what I wanted to hear, so I embraced what made the first one special.” - source : Apple Music
