Lewis OfMan has joined forces with Carly Rae Jepsen on their new single, “Move Me“, out today via Profil de Face. The infectious new track was born after Lewis and Carly connected over Zoom during the pandemic. The result is a feel-good summer jam that you’ll be listening to on repeat long after the warm weather goes away.
Reflecting on how they connected, Carly says, “In Sept of 2020 I heard about an artist named Lewis OfMan. A friend sent me a playlist and I kept pausing at the same track of Lewis’s thinking ‘this is really good.’ The world was upside down so there was extra time to really listen to music and then ask questions like ‘who made this and how can we be friends?’ Lewis has really been the silver lining of my last two years when touring wasn’t possible and travel was just a dream. On top of that, he has one of my favorite male voices. I can’t wait for you to hear our first collaboration after such a long wait.”
Lewis adds, “Carly & I met and worked in a really modern way, I received a call from her and I was honored that she liked my music in such a genuine way. Our relationship was Zoom-ed quite fast and we became close friends and these sessions almost felt like a shared diary, where we were sharing our stories.”
Detailing the story and inspiration behind “Move Me”, Lewis continues, “While I was living in Florence I had this special party where I found my heart shaken up by someone, I remember these insane blue eyes, but destiny wasn’t OK for us to pursue each other, we were stuck in our own lives and couldn’t mix them. The day after I wrote Move Me – I think the song took 2 hours from the beginning to the end – I was full of passion and dreams and wanted to scream it out to the world. I had a session with Carly the same night, she instantly felt the song and sent me recordings of her beautiful voice and some additional ideas – it just made so much sense to do this duet together, it’s such a beautiful encounter. Now, enjoy this track & we hope it will resonate through your life.”
