Lewis Gregory is part of the electronic duo Mona Vale, but his self-expression takes the form of Luis Solo, and I could not be more excited for his second single "Hope&healing." Just a couple of weeks ago, we presented him to you with the track "I Feel," and the emotional heat in the one that's following is no less alluring.
The British electronic producer took inspiration from the lockdown and one of his favorite musicians of all time Bon Iver. He sums up the strange weeks in 2020 into a blissful, organic structure that starts with a piano he sat down behind back in his mother's house. "In the intro, you can hear my wife yawning in the background of the piano recording, while there are also wind chimes sampled from her grandmother's porch,” Luis says, and the sweetest harmony is now born.
