Dean Lewis Announces Third LP The Epilogue + Global Tour

by | Jun 11, 2024

Global superstar Dean Lewis has announced that his hotly anticipated third studio album The Epilogue will be released Friday 18th October. He has also shared dates to his global album tour. An epilogue follows the final chapter of a story. Rather than close the book once and for all, it alludes to what the future may hold for the characters. Following unprecedented worldwide success, critical acclaim, and sold-out tours, Lewis continues to write and perform with unmatched vulnerability, vibrancy, and vitality. As such, The Epilogue, represents both the culmination of an incredible journey thus far and a harbinger for where he may go next.

In-between a packed live schedule, Lewis penned music for The Epilogue during sessions in a Hollywood Hills house and in Hawaii. Harnessing a renewed state of inspiration, the troubadour tapped into the spirit of his earliest material from a fresh perspective honed by six more years of experience.

Available to pre-order and pre-save today, the 12-track The Epilogue LP includes his previous singles Trust Me Mate and Memories as well as the recently released single All I Ever Wanted. The heartbreaking new single with lightly plucked acoustic guitar and soft strings accompanying Lewis’s delicate delivery, was written and recorded in Los Angeles and co-produced by Lewis and acclaimed duo Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson). The official music video for All I Ever Wanted was shot in the stunning Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah by his brother and long-time visual collaborator, Sean Loaney. Check it out below:

“My first album had a level of rawness,” Lewis observes. “For the second, I was a little more cautious and pop-oriented, but the songs were meaningful to me. On this record, I started to get rawer and more acoustic again. I was trying to rekindle the simplicity of why things worked. I knew what I wanted to hear, so I embraced what made the first one special.”

“I’ve learned a lot of lessons, and I know myself more, but I’ve retained the wonder and possibility of life,” Lewis shares. “When I wrote my debut, A Place We Knew I had nothing, and I was living with my grandma. I’m in a much different place, yet I have the same youthful excitement. I’m calmer and more relaxed. I never lost the drive to make great music. This is my craft, my life, and my purpose. Before, I often felt like I didn’t belong, but I’m surer of my place in the world today.”

Since his emergence in 2017, Dean Lewis has gathered over 13 billion streams and dozens of multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications worldwide. Dean’s 2019 platinum-certified debut, A Place We Knew, housed the hits Waves and Be Alright—which also reached rarified air as a member of the Spotify “Billions Club.” He has picked up 3 ARIA Awards and 7 APRA Awards. Moreover, he has amassed a cumulative social media following of nearly 7 million fans.
