British singer-songwriter, producer and DJ, SG Lewis has returned with his new single, “Fever Dreamer” featuring singer-songwriter Charlotte Day Wilson and previous collaborator Channel Tres. The timeless dancefloor anthem is the final track to arrive before the highly anticipated release of his second studio album, AudioLust & HigherLove, out Friday, January 27 via Astralwerks. The album is available for pre-order HERE.
Speaking on the song, SG Lewis said, “‘Fever Dreamer’ is the last taste of AudioLust & HigherLove before its release in 17 days, and a song about all-consuming admiration for someone. I’ve been a fan of Charlotte’s music for ages now, and have wanted to work on something forever. We met up at my studio in LA, and ‘Fever Dreamer’ was the first idea we started work on.”
He added, “Channel and I work out of the same studios in LA a lot, and he was working in the room above around the time of the Charlotte session. One day he popped his head into the studio, heard the demo of ‘Fever Dreamer,’ and immediately started working on the missing second verse.”
Next week, SG Lewis is slated to perform on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 18 at 11:35 pm / 10:35 pm central.
AudioLust & HigherLove finds SG Lewis building on the kaleidoscopic future-disco of his debut album, times, in an expansive and ambitious record made of two halves. On one end of the spectrum, he crafts the kind of nocturnal bangers that dancefloors, underground raves, pool parties, and festivals subsist on. On the other end, he accesses a higher level of timeless pop ecstasy anchored by just the right amount of breezy hook-laden rock, organic instrumentation, and vocal eloquence. He suits one mood to the adrenaline rush of your wildest night out, and he tailors another to the blissful ride home at sunrise. It’s a diverse collection of classic but deeply contemporary cuts from one of the richest production talents of the last decade and includes a blockbuster collection of guests including the likes of today’s featured artists Channel Tres and Charlotte Day Wilson, as well as Tove Lo, Ty Dolla $ign and Lucky Daye—all alongside SG’s own vocals which are featured more prominently than ever before.
Talking about the album, SG Lewis reveals, “The album is clearly split into two worlds,” SG Lewis explains. “AudioLust is the darker, lusty, infatuated, short-lived, and ego-driven version of love. The second half represents a much deeper, actualized, and fulfilled version of love. Songs fall on either half of the record. I feel like I exist in the space between DJing and being an artist. The bulk of the album was written across a series of intensive studio residencies in the height of the pandemic, with the help of some incredibly talented friends, and allowed me to explore myself as an artist in a way that I would never have dared before.”
