On the back of two successful back-to-back weekends at Coachella playing to a jam-packed Mojave Tent, British producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist SGLewisreturns today with new single “Flames”,a collaboration with 16-year old Australian pop star Ruel (RCA), who joined him on stage for the song’s live debut during Weekend 2 of Coachella. Out now via Casablanca/Republic Records in North America, ‘Flames’ is a sure fire song of the summer, with Ruel’s soulful vocals dancing atop SG’s layered production. “Flames” is the latest track taken from ‘Dawn’, the third and final installment of his three-part concept album, Dusk, Dark, Dawn, out later this year.
Speaking about the new song, SG reveals, “I was put onto Ruel’s music about 18 months ago, and watching his growth since then has been amazing. He’s got such soul to his voice for someone of his age, it’s crazy. ‘Flames’ is the final preview of ‘Dawn’ before the whole thing drops, and I can’t wait to share the whole thing.”
SG Lewis has also announced a string of North American Headline dates, kicking off September 3in Toronto. The twelve date tour hits major cities, including Boston, Brooklyn, Washington DC, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, San Francisco, Santa Fe, and Denver before concluding at The Novo in Los Angeles on October 12.
