Dean Lewis Previews Third LP With All I Ever Wanted

by | May 30, 2024

Aussie music phenomenon Dean Lewis has shared the latest preview of his highly anticipated third album, with the release of his new single, All I Ever Wanted. The single comes following a string of critically acclaimed releases over the last year. Equally moving and resonant in both its composition and its message, All I Ever Wanted is the embodiment of the classic sliding doors moment, with Dean looking to his past when he was faced with the choice of pursuing a serious relationship or a career in music.

Against a tender acoustic introduction, Lewis remembers this heartbreak with raw vulnerability: “All my mistakes, oh I took you for granted, I was looking for something when I already had it”. With a delicate vibrato in his voice and a powerful crescendo, All I Ever Wanted is as fragile as it is striking, and as personal to the 36-year-old as it is relatable to his wider audience.

Reflecting on its inspiration, Lewis admits there’s a deep sense of regret and naivety associated with the missed opportunities the track focuses on; “All I Ever Wanted is about when you realise that what you had at the start with someone before things got crazy and blew up was great, and the grass isn’t always greener. The thing that I had with this girl before I pursued my dreams, she was everything I ever wanted, I just didn’t realise it at the time. I needed to go and try and make something of myself, and you get to that place where you realise that she was all I ever wanted, and I wish I could go back.”

All I Ever Wanted was written and recorded in Los Angeles and co-produced by Lewis and acclaimed duo Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson), and the release is also accompanied with an official music video, shot in the stunning Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah by his brother and long time visual collaborator, Sean Loaney. The new single is the latest in Dean’s already-impressive catalogue, following on from the arrival of Memories back in February. Since its release, Memories has already achieved some impressive milestones, including generating 35 million streams, having been added to Hot Hits Australia, and hitting the Top 25 on the AU Radio Chart, and Top 20 on the AU Shazam chart.

With singles such as In A Perfect World, Trust Me Mate, and a collaboration with Ruth B. on her single, 28, arriving across the last year, Dean Lewis is continuing the stellar momentum which has seen him accrue more than 6.3 million album and EP sales, more than 12.5 billion streams, and a massive global fanbase of over 7 million social followers (including 3.3 million on Tik Tok and 2 million on YouTube).

Following a massive year in 2023 which saw Lewis play more than 100 shows across Australia, Europe, and the US, he recently wrapped up a series of global tour dates, including a support slot for AJR Brothers on their US arena tour, and for James Arthur during his UK arena tour.

He will be returning to the UK to play his biggest headline show to date at OVO Arena Wembley on 8th February 2025!

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
