Dean Lewis’s aching, enigmatic debut single “Waves” seduced music lovers across the planet – earning the Sydney-based singer-songwriter high rotation on Triple J along with the new single “Need You Now”.
For Dean, it all really started when he was sitting with his younger brother years ago and his dad put on a DVD called Oasis Manchester Live 2005. "I remember watching Liam Gallagher walk out with this hat and red jacket and watching him with Noel, they were just the coolest guys ever. I spent the next five years watching every Oasis video - Noel Gallagher basically taught me how to write songs."
Fortunately fans of "Waves", recorded with Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway (Gabrielle Aplin) and mixed by Dan Grech (Halsey, Josef Salvat) won't have to contend themselves with one song. Inspired by the instant international response to his first single, Lewis has been in a creative frenzy, writing and recording more than 100 songs, the first tantalizing taste of which comes in the form of new EP, Same Kind of Different.
Make no mistake, however, this is just the beginning..."I love 'Waves', and I love the songs on this EP," says Lewis, "but this is just the starting point. These are the songs that I felt were right to share first, but I have a hundred of others ready to go".
