We've teamed up with W!ZARD Radio Station, the leading online teen radio station, dedicated to playing your favourite music before you know it. WR are picking a track from emerging UK talent every week that they predict will make it big to showcase here, on the BPI blog.
Bringing jazz influences to the pop game, Rhys Lewis is winning us over.
First entering the game late last year with ‘Wake Up Without You’ (an honest song about breaking up with a lover), Lewis has kept us hooked ever since with a string of singles – our favourites being ‘Living In The City’ and new single ‘Wish I Was Sober’.
The new release keeps the honest lyricism that is a staple of Rhys Lewis’ music and the pulsating drums that make it possible to imagine these tunes being sung at the Royal Albert Hall. The song includes the genius lyric, “I can’t drink you out of my head, I wish I was sober”.
Currently touring with another up-and-coming star, James TW, Rhys Lewis is headlining his own tour later this year.
