Following performances at Ibiza Rocks, Kendal Calling, Bestival and Beatherder Festivals, UK RnB/Soul singer-songwriter Link Lewis has dropped his smooth debut single Foundation. The silky slow-jam is available on all streaming platforms now and offers up soulful vocals alongside atmospheric electronica and mellow beats.
Taking inspiration from all branches of the tree, the Link Lewis sound blends the buttery tones of jazzy RnB with the slick hooks and pounding grooves of hip-hop and modern pop. With a wealth of experience both writing and producing music in multiple genres, Foundation is his debut single as a solo artist.
“My writing process always starts at the piano. Sometimes, I’ve written every element of a song before I even start recording, whether that be a lyric, melody line, harmony or vocal hook” explains Lewis about the track. “In the first few hours it’s just myself, my piano, sheets of A4 and a pencil. I think Foundation introduces my sound well – I don’t want to be defined by one genre. I love the fatness and rawness of Hip-Hop beats, the melody and harmonies of RnB and the tones and grooves of Jazz music, so you can expect to hear all of this in my music. Lyrically, this track is pretty classic and relatable – the scenario of a man being there for a woman during difficult times and allowing someone to be that stability and structure in your life.”
