well it foxed island records. despite a whole host of heavyweight
artist fans, prime tv exposure and plenty of spectacular
broadsheet and influential music paper support, they still
couldn't make lewis taylor a household name. with music too
'quirky' for the soul crowd and allegedly too 'black' for the
rock, pop and indie community, lewis's music became notoriously
difficult to market, falling between the narrow, unimaginative
categorisations that had come to haunt the late 1990's music
industry.
which is something of a crime. london based lewis taylor is, by
any reasonable measure, one of the greatest and singularly
distinctive talents working in the industy today. a songwriter
possessing the voice of an angel and a multi instrumentalist and
producer of exceptional musicianship and vision. frustrated not so
much by the lack of commercial success but more from the industry
'he's obviously a great talent but how do we market this' point of
view, lewis retired to his home studio for a couple of years and
did what he does best; make music.
lewis has now chosen to release his new record, 'stoned part one',
under his own steam and at his own pace. he has, ironically, come
up with his most accessible and, potentially, commercial album to
date. broadly described as 'psychedelic soul' it works at it's own
level whilst also, potentially, appealing to all the neo and
classic soul heads, through lenny kravitz-cum-hendrix territory.
it even possesses enough typically barbed musicianship to appeal
to the indie and underground crowd digging everything from retro
rock to radiohead aural landscapes.
so will it put lewis on the map? well good product requires good
marketing and we wait to see if lewis's deliberately go-it-alone
'homegrown' approach succeeds where all the past industry support
so clearly failed. either way, this is one guy who will always
make great, distinctive and inimitable music.
don't let this exceptional talent pass you by.
