Lewis - Romance for Two by ObscureSound
I am totally mesmerized by this forgotten album by disappeared mononymous Californian singer: Lewis. The tunes are straight-formed, loosely held, and slowly given by Lewis' guitar, piano, uniquely expressive synth lines, and Lewis' own soft-souled voice. And the surviving digital recordings bear the cloud-static of its original vinyl pressing. As angelic and tender as the album's unabashed cover. The mood and some of the piano playing, though much simpler, reminds me also of the incredible Ethiopian pianist/composer (now a Christian nun in Jerusalem), Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou. Absolutely levitating...
LISTEN TO IT ALL...
