Zay Lewis is revolutionizing the way we listen to music. His new single “Fly on the Wall” makes the hive buzz with a sugar rush of psychedelic sonics, an insect influenced flurry of synths, and a vocal cadence with peaks and valleys that descend like a drug trip. Humming with fly frequency and a hype-man resemblant backup vocal, the undercurrents of this track are just as zesty as the upfront electricity that Lewis conducts like copper on lightning.
In a hyper-saturated world with artists feverishly pumping out content just to stay afloat, Zay Lewis is making damn sure his music doesn’t compromise. He’s the creator of the Zay Zip – a zip file that fans can get their hands on for $10 including a hi-fi mix of the respective track, a lookbook, and an episode of The Sessions. The Sessions is a docu-series tracking his development as an artist, and it’s unequivocally clear he wants his fans right there with him, every step of the way.
The Brooklyn-based artist has opened for the likes of A$AP Ferg, Buddy, Ace Hood, and Kelela. I’m excited to track his development as a musician, but I’m beyond stoked to watch Lewis reimagine the relationships between artists and fans. Taking them inside his hive mind, Lewis has struck a chord by going all out on every project and that passion has the propensity to change the industry for good.
