Listen up - LEW's 2017 summer playlist
Lewis Loh, better known as LEW, is a 20-year old Hong Kong-born Singaporean singer-songwriter who recently released his album Lullacry. As a musician, LEW, of course, has his own favourite tunes. Here are his picks for the summer:
Lorde - Supercut
This is how bedroom vocals should be laid over a super slick beat to create an anthem feel.
The Click Five - I’m Getting Over You
Nostalgia 101, how to bring back your teenage memories? Listen to a breakup song by a boy band.
Metro Station - Now That We’re Done
I love the synths and vibe of this song. Makes me want to dance in my room alone with my eyes closed.
Paramore - Rose-Colored Boy
This song’s groove is so hype, and the jam in the chorus is so sweet that you don’t realize that the lyrics are super sad.
Capital Cities - Origami
Best song to run to because of the four to the floor beat and the tight bass line, but also low-key love the title of the song.
Liz Longley - Rescue My Heart
I found this song randomly on Instagram and love the way the song builds on itself. The melodies and lyrics also tug on my heart strings.
Oh Wonder - Drive
Love the small Easter egg references to Taylor Swift, Sia, Clean Bandit and Kygo. Oh Wonder is also an amazing summer band to listen to.
Mumford & Sons - The Cave
My favourite song to listen to on a wet rainy day where you have to stay home and read a book.
The Paper Kites - Bloom
Same reason as ‘The Cave’.
The Lumineers - Submarines
This is perfect for your commute to wherever you need to be. You feel super included when you listen to the Lumineers; also perfect for lonely days.
