SG Lewis Will Release a New Album This Fall: See the Cover Art

SG Lewis will release his third studio album this fall.

Titled Anemoia, the project is out Sept. 5 on the British producer’s own Forever Days label. The project will be his first full length since 2023’s AudioLust & HigherLove, which was a follow-up to his lauded 2021 debut, Times. These two albums reached No. 13 and No. 11 on the Top Dance Albums chart, respectively. In 2024 the producer also worked on the collaborate Heat EP alongside Tove Lo.

Lewis’ most recent release, May’s “Back of My Mind,” is the lead single from Anemoia, a word defined as “nostalgia for a time you’ve never known.”

“When I discovered the word ‘anemoia,’ it articulated a feeling I’d struggled to describe for so long — a nostalgia for times I never lived through,” Lewis says in a statement. “Throughout my career, I’ve often referenced past eras of music, studying them inside out to understand their cultural and technical history. In doing so, I started to question my emotional connection to those times, and why they left such a mark on me. 

“This album is rooted in the dancefloor, and even its quieter moments are shaped by Balearic sounds that are influenced from spending a lot of time in Ibiza last summer. I think a lot of the music carries an undertone of melancholy, even when it feels high in energy. More than anything, I want Anemoia to be a soundtrack to living in the present — to creating the kind of moments that others might one day feel nostalgic for.”

In tandem with the new album, Lewis is announcing a 14-date North American tour that will begin on the same day of the album release and features support from Peruvian producer Sofia Kourtesis. See the dates and the album’s surrealist cover art below.
