Lewis Watson
WE SAY
It's been an impressive 12 months for Lewis Watson since we last featured him here. Word-of-mouth buzz has helped him rack up more than six million YouTube views and sell-out concerts (including London's Koko, gigs in LA and NYC that both sold out in a day and even Holland, despite never having been there). After scoring five EPs that all charted in the iTunes Top 10, it's safe to say anticipation is high for his debut album The Morning, due June 16. This track is the first single from it and the video (shot in eight hours in a Cardiff graveyard) has been directed by Craig Roberts, who you may remember as the lead character from that great movie Submarine a couple of years ago. Lewis is on the road with a major headline tour this autumn, taking in Shepherd's Bush Empire on September 25. Oh, and he's even acting in the forthcoming screen adaptation of John Niven's cult novel Kill Your Friends, which promises to be one of the music industry's favourite films of 2014. Musically, this fits into that same arena that's seen the likes of Ed Sheeran and Ben Howard become big stars so far this decade and there's always room for another passionate, honest songwriter who connects with his audience emotionally. Assured and accomplished, this is his year.
