Rhys Lewis Premieres ‘I Know The Feeling’ Video
Rising star Rhys Lewis has premiered the official music video for his brand new single I Know The Feeling. This is a soulful pop/rock track with somewhat of a Blues-y vibe to it. His vocals are as always impeccable and packed with emotion! The video is awesome and super relatable! Check it out below!
Produced by the Isle of Wight based duo Boe Weaver, Rhys' charming raw vocal takes centre stage from the beginning of the track. The heart-warming single radiates total positivity to lighten any bad day or situation. Penned to help a friend that was going through a tough time, Rhys hopes that this new single will resonate with listeners, and help bring mens mental health awareness to light.
He says,
Rhys sees song-writing as a kind of free therapy, having the ability to raise awareness about issues not many want to address.
Speaking about the concept behind the music video, Rhys said,
This track follows the success of his singles Living In The City and Waking Up Without You, and his full length debut album is expected to drop later this year!
This song is about a friend of mine who was going through a tough time, but also about me because Im saying that I know exactly how you feel. I guess this song is also about anyone who has been through a particularly dark time. It was written straight from the heart, so if it can help someone else get through a similar situation then that is the most rewarding thing for a songwriter.

I think there is a lot of bravado that surrounds being a guy and being macho that stems from a dated idea of what being a man is brave face, man up, and dont talk about your feelings. But in reality, it takes a great amount of courage and bravery to be honest and vulnerable about how you feel. The pressure to be happy all the time and to be living the perfect life on social media is greater than ever, but I think if men could actually feel more comfortable being open in front of people or a friend, then that can change a lot of things.
I think there is always an element of sadness behind comedy, so the idea of a man with a clown-like smile painted on his face is a really strong symbol for that. It felt like the right visuals and a powerful protagonist for the story.
