London-based singer-songwriter, producer, and DJ, SG Lewis, releases not one, but two brand new singles: the nocturnal floor-filler “Missing You” and the italo-influenced anthem “Something About Your Love.”
Right out of the gate, “Missing You” reaches for dancefloor glory with its shimmering synths and neon bass line, nodding to eighties new wave with a chantable chorus, “I’m not missing you like I’m supposed to.” On the flip side, “Something About Your Love” fuses a funk-inflected bass line and tambourine with a luminous refrain.
Speaking about “Missing You,” SG Lewis reveals:
Conceptually, it felt like the perfect introduction. It’s a story about temptation and dwindling fear. Your eyes are wandering.
On “Something About Your Love,” SG adds:
It’s no secret I’m a massive Daft Punk fan. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever made to a tribute to them. I was listening to Discovery a lot, and there’s a specific technique to it. I chopped up the sample of these seventies keys and drums. It came together easily. Lyrically, It’s a pure confession of admiration for someone. It’s the perfect contrast to ‘Missing You’.
This summer, SG Lewis will return to the beloved Palm Springs pool party festival Splash House, playing a special after-hours DJ set on Saturday, August 13th, followed by confirmed festival performances at Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas (TICKETS) on Friday, September 16th and the Portola Festival in San Francisco on Sunday, September 25th.
