His voice is a melodic silky sound that hugs you like a friend, and takes you home. In 2017, LEW released his debut album Lullacry at his sold-out album launch. The thirteen track album, produced by Bani Hidir, is a collection of stories that describe the true nature of love; love is complex, beautiful and painful.
In 2018, LEW released ENFJ - an EP about some of the facets of the human condition that one may experience, and There's Something in My Eye - an EP about falling in love, and then learning to navigate long distance and communication.

Lights On
Lew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let your sleepy eyes close for now
Wait for what the new morn brings
You're just a newborn child, my love
There'll be time for us to sing
You will grow up, all in good time
And make us proud there is no doubt
But for now, it's time to rest your eyes
A hug, a kiss, lights out

Your future keeps me up at night
I can't help, the plans in my head
But seeing you fast asleep
Brings peace to my wakeful bed
What adventures will we have tomorrow
What laughter will the new day bring
What feelings will we feel inside
What joyful songs will we sing
Your whole life lies ahead of you
The whole world lies at your feet
But there'll be time enough to make your way
For now, it's time for you to sleep
Your future keeps me up at night
I can't help, the worries in my head
But seeing you fast asleep
Brings peace to my wakeful bed
Let your sleepy eyes close for now
Tomorrow we'll have fun, there is no doubt
But for now, it's time to rest a while
A hug, a kiss, lights out

A hug, a kiss, lights out
A hug, a kiss, lights out
