Dean Lewis Releases Third Studio Album 'THE EPILOGUE'

Dean Lewis has released his highly anticipated third studio album The Epilogue, featuring his new single and music video “Empire.” Listen to The Epilogue HERE.

At the end of the month, the multiplatinum award-winning singer-songwriter is set to embark on his largest global tour. The Epilogue World Tour launches at the Civic Theatre in Newcastle, Australia on Wednesday October 30th before heading to Europe and finishing up in North America in April/May of 2025. Tickets are on sale now HERE. See below for a complete itinerary of North American dates.

The Epilogue leads with the emotionally charged heartfelt new single “Empire.” Performed recently at the 2024 ACRA Awards (Australian Commercial Radio & Audio Awards) “Empire” is about letting go and allowing someone to find their own path and grow on their own. Dean shares, “it's about my friend, and it's about her finding her own way, and me letting her go and find her way, because she spent years helping me and supporting me, and never was able to find her own path. It's me saying, go and do that, go and find yourself, but if the wind ever breaks down your windows, I'll be here.”

“Empire” is accompanied by a beautiful music video shot in Los Angeles and directed by highly acclaimed brothers Landon and Luke, Altar8 (David Kushner). Speaking about the creative vision for the “Empire” video Dean reveals, “I wanted it to feel like we're on a cabin on a hill and there's this wind gushing against the cabin. I wanted to create that visual and to put people in that scene, then the lyrics start to describe having to let this girl go and bloom in her own life, succeed on her own. It gets this big epic chorus where I'm singing about missing her and wanting to call her, but not being able to. It feels, so grand and epic that I got shivers when we layered the vocals in the studio. It just came alive at that point and it's a song I'm really proud of ... I hope you love it.”

The Epilogue contains 12 new tracks, including the latest hit single, the love song “Rest” featuring Sasha Alex Sloan which has garnered over 13 million streams to date, “All I Ever Wanted” which has amassed over 20 million streams, reached the Top 10 on Shazam and cracked the Top 15 on the Australian Radio Chart, the equally moving and resonant in both its composition and its message, "The Last Bit Of Us" co-produced by Dean and acclaimed duo Afterhrs (Maroon 5, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson), and the heart wrenching song “Memories” and “Trust Me Mate."

Following unprecedented worldwide success, critical acclaim, and sold-out tours, Dean continues to write and perform with unmatched vulnerability, vibrancy, and vitality. The Epilogue boasts some of Dean's best work to date, representing both the culmination of an incredible journey thus far and a harbinger for what's next.

Lewis says, “I've been touring and recording nonstop for eight years. An Epilogue traditionally sums up a book, answers any unanswered questions, and hints at what's to come. This is a new chapter. It feels like the ending of the last few years of my life and the beginning of the next. I really tried to define my own style. For me, the music wraps up the past and shines a light on what to expect going forward.”

Dean Lewis crafted The Epilogue between a packed live schedule, penning music during sessions in a Hollywood Hills house and in Hawaii. He went back to his roots, harnessing a renewed state of inspiration, tapping into the spirit of his earliest material from a fresh perspective honed by six more years of experience.

Speaking about the album Dean says, “my first album had a level of rawness, for the second, I was a little more cautious and pop-oriented, but the songs were meaningful to me. On this record, I started to get rawer and more acoustic again. I was trying to rekindle the simplicity of why things worked. I knew what I wanted to hear, so I embraced what made the first one special.”

The Epilogue is the start of the best chapter of Dean's story. “I've learned a lot of lessons, and I know myself more, but I've retained the wonder and possibility of life. When I wrote my debut, I had nothing, and I was living with my grandma. I'm in a much different place, yet I have the same youthful excitement. I'm calmer and more relaxed. I never lost the drive to make great music. This is my craft, my life, and my purpose. Before, I often felt like I didn't belong, but I'm surer of my place in the world today”, Dean shares.

Dean returns to Australia fresh off the back of performing in Europe at major summer festivals throughout Denmark, Germany, Ireland and the US, and is excited to kick off the global The Epilogue World Tour in Australia this month. Supporting the Australian and New Zealand Tour Dates is USA Singer Songwriter Daniel Seavey and Australian sweetheart and most streamed country-pop artist, Rachael Fahim.
