Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Rhys Lewis Releases New Song “Alone”
British singer-songwriter Rhys Lewis released a new song “Alone” on April 8, 2022.
The song is the first single off of his upcoming sophomore album.
It was written by Aidan Glover, Leroy Clampitt and Rhys Lewis. Produced by Aidan Glover and Richard Wilkinson.
“As incredible as it was to become so close to a group of people so quickly, the experience also made me appreciate the importance of time alone…. I’d started to feel a little claustrophobic,” Rhys Lewis said in a statement. “When I got home [from tour] we were just going into what ended up being a 3-month-long lockdown. I spent that period of isolation with friends and although I was glad I had company throughout those months, the conditions we were all forced into began to feel similarly claustrophobic. The lyrics I’d started…whilst on tour suddenly felt relevant to this moment, so I carried on working on the song.”- Lewis continued, “the writing process felt like a form of escapism in itself, picturing so vividly the moment of solitude I was craving at the time. We’re always so connected, constantly in communication with each other, that the idea of disappearing for a while sometimes seems almost impossible to me, and for that reason exciting. There’s something quite thrilling and invigorating about being truly alone, away from everything and everyone. So I hope this song makes people seek out a moment of solitude for themselves.”
