Internationally acclaimed producer, songwriter and DJ SG Lewis has released his brand-new single “Feelings Gone” featuring beloved UK trio, London Grammar. Out everywhere now via his own label, Forever Days in collaboration with Astralwerks, the track offers a shimmering and emotional glimpse into Lewis’ forthcoming third studio album Anemoia, arriving September 5.
Blending SG Lewis’ euphoric, widescreen production with Hannah Reid’s unmistakable vocals, “Feelings Gone” embodies the nostalgic and cathartic energy that pulses throughout Anemoia. The record features an all-star lineup of collaborators including Oliver Sim (The xx), TEED, Shygirl, and RAHH with additional production contributions come from TEED and Karma Kid.
Marking a pivotal moment for the London-born, LA-based artist — following a string of club-focused releases and collaborations, Anemoia sees SG Lewis return to the center of his solo artist project with a sound that’s expansive, cerebral and deeply personal.
Named after the word that describes a nostalgia for a time never personally experienced, Anemoia explores SG’s long-standing fascination with past eras of dance music, refining an emotional sound that draws as much from early trance, Balearic house, and 2000s electronica as it does modern pop songwriting.
“When I discovered the word Anemoia, it articulated a feeling I’d struggled to describe for so long — a nostalgia for times I never lived through,” SG says. “Throughout my career, I’ve often referenced past eras of music, studying them inside out to understand their cultural and technical history. In doing so, I started to question my emotional connection to those times, and why they left such a mark on me.
This album is rooted in the dancefloor, and even its quieter moments are shaped by Balearic sounds that are influenced from spending a lot of time in Ibiza last summer. I think a lot of the music carries an undertone of melancholy, even when it feels high in energy. More than anything, I want Anemoia to be a soundtrack to living in the present — to creating the kind of moments that others might one day feel nostalgic for.”
“Feelings Gone” follows the release of “Sugar,” featuring close-collaborator and pop-provocateur, Shygirl and “Back of My Mind,” which premiered as BBC R1’s Hottest Record upon its release and introduced a more introspective tone while nodding to SG’s roots in euphoric, progressive electronic music. It also arrived at a time of creative renewal for SG Lewis. Having spent the past year grounding himself in his London studio after a decade of life on the road, he channelled that reflective energy into a new body of work that reaches beyond the club – blending timeless dance music influences with vivid storytelling.
Alongside the album release, SG Lewis will embark on his Anemoia Live North American Tour, kicking off September 5 in Austin, TX, with stops in Toronto, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Franciscoand more. He will then join RÜFÜS DU SOL on their massive stadium tour across Australia, before returning to the UK for headline dates including a major night at O2 Academy Brixton.
