New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On-the-rise artist Payson Lewis has strayed away from his familiar genre of pop with his new release, "Can't Go Back," a song which offers a suspenseful, exciting rock vibe. Lewis ditched the piano and focused on the thrilling sound of guitar and drums, producing a song unlike anything he has released. The single is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.
After releasing " Can't Go Back", Lewis now has a wide array of songs incorporating numerous genres and themes. The goal of his music is to convey an important message while evoking emotion. '"Can't Go Back' is a reflection of our time," explains Lewis. The song questions why people do what they do, how they act in different relationships and what they would change having the benefit of hindsight. Lewis was inspired after the controversial 2016 election and wondering if people would feel differently looking back on whom they voted for. "'Can't Go Back" is about the moment when you confront yourself wishing that you 'knew then what you know now,"' says Lewis. The single was produced by Ben Soldate featuring Erik Carlson on the guitar and Rob Humphreys on drums.
