The Epilogue represents both the culmination of an incredible journey thus far and a harbinger for where he may go next. Speaking on the album release, Lewis says: “I’ve been touring and recording nonstop for eight years. An Epilogue traditionally sums up a book, answers any unanswered questions, and hints at what’s to come. This is a new chapter. It feels like the ending of the last few years of my life and the beginning of the next. I really tried to define my own style. For me, the music wraps up the past and shines a light on what to expect going forward.”

The Epilogue leads with the emotionally charged heartfelt new single Empire, a song about letting go and allowing someone to find their own path and grow on their own. The 36-year-old shares: “it’s about my friend, and it’s about her finding her own way, and me letting her go and find her way, because she spent years helping me and supporting me, and never was able to find her own path. It’s me saying, go and do that, go and find yourself, but if the wind ever breaks down your windows, I’ll be here.”

Empire is accompanied by a beautiful music video clip shot in Los Angeles, directed by Luke Shaw, Landon Juern and Altar8 (David Kushner). Speaking about the creative vision for Empire Lewis reveals: “I wanted it to feel like we’re on a cabin on a hill and there’s this wind gushing against the cabin. I wanted to create that visual and to put people in that scene, then the lyrics start to describe having to let this girl go and bloom in her own life, succeed on her own. It gets this big epic chorus where I’m singing about missing her and wanting to call her, but not being able to. It feels, so grand and epic that I got shivers when we layered the vocals in the studio. It just came alive at that point and it’s a song I’m really proud of … I hope you love it.” Watch the video below:

Following unprecedented worldwide success, critical acclaim, and sold-out tours, Dean 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, he 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.

Speaking about the album Lewis says: “my first album had a level of rawness, 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.”

Since his emergence in 2017, Dean Lewis has gathered over 13 billion streams and dozens of multi platinum, platinum, and gold certifications worldwide. The 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. He has amassed a cumulative social media following of nearly 7 million fans. Not to mention, collaborated with everyone from Kygo, Martin Garrix, and Tiësto to Ruth B. and Julia Michaels. On the road, he’s enraptured audiences at packed headline shows in addition to touring with AJR and James Arthur.

The LP release will be supported by a global album tour. The Epilogue World Tour comes to the UK in February 2025 with dates as below. In the end, The Epilogue is the start of the best chapter of Dean’s story.
