New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Today, Boise, ID singer-songwriter Joshua Lewis shares "Thinkin' About You," the newest single off his upcoming LP, Friction, due November 11 via Earth Libraries.
The parabolic sway of the vocalo on this track guides listeners through crystal-clear production values and a storytelling bent both misty-eyed and microscopic in its detailing. This balancing act of simplicity and shrewd twists in formula stems from Lewis' love of Steely Dan, masters of this tightrope walk. It, as with the record's previous two singles, also comes alongside a visual created by Benjamin Violet.
Speaking on "Thinkin' About You," Joshua wrote: "I wanted to write something that felt like 'every breath you take' by The Police. I always enjoyed how that tune was so simple and carried a lot of weight. Lyrically, it's about that moment when you have a crush on somebody and want to play it cool, like I'm thinking about you, but oh shit actually I'm not it's no big deal, even though you totally are."
Early last year, Lewis shared his self-recorded debut album, Too Soft, via Earth Libraries. With its warm gazes back at 1970s pop-rock crooning, the record's eponymous softness enveloped its tales of heartbreak and longing with halos of inviting melodies and layered instrumentation. In addition, Lewis has been praised for his recent work mixing the latest Built To Spill record, alongside Doug Martsch, Lê Almeida, and João Casaes.
