RHYS LEWIS

Corner Of The Sky (Decca)

With over 3.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and recognition from several BBC radio stations, Rhys Lewis is a name to be looking out for in 2023. His second album, Corner Of The Sky, perfectly showcases his undeniable vocal talent – most successfully highlighted in Yesterday’s Rain.

Lewis’ gentle soul radiates through his skilfully-written lyrics and delivery, perfectly paired with the nostalgic style of Aidan Glover’s production. Navigating themes of heartbreak, the complexity of modern living and letting go, this album is a resoundingly relatable – yet, equally, personal – insight into the singer-songwriter’s lived experience.

A beautifully cinematic mix of upbeat cathartic anthems like To Be Alive and stripped-back, reflective songs such as Simple make this a truly no-skip album with authenticity at its heart. Congratulations are in order for everyone involved in the making of Corner Of The Sky, which Rhys Lewis will be touring in the UK and Europe during February.
