Donell Lewis - Missing My Love EP Review
17 Oct 2012 // A review by Dilemma
Donell Lewis has recently released a 6 track EP called 'Missing My Love' with the title song being the hottest new tune on YouTube and urban radio. Missing My Love is the third track and it features Fortafy aka Sam Ratumaituvuki. Both D. Lewis and Fortafy have their roots in NZ R&B and Rap but this track could be likened to anything by artists such as Jason Derulo and Ne-yo.
The EP opens with 'Take It Off' and 'Put It On Me' Feating Rickey Okay, obviously introducing the theme of the EP being about love but with solid beats in the background. Both tracks are very catchy and definitely in the realms of club thumpers. By the end of the EP Donell slows it down a bit showcasing more of his vocal ability and sensuality in 'Grown Man' and making everyone swoon in the closing track 'Open' which is more of an R&B ballad.
If this is insight into what is to come on his new album then I am sure you will be impressed.
About Donell Lewis
A few years later in 2010, singer songwriter D.Lewis was born. He signed with G.E.M (Green Eyed Monster) in hope to make it big, and released his first single All Night featuring G.E.M’s founder EN-V. His time at G.E.M was short lived and he eventually found himself back at square one; however he had now learnt a thing or two about the music industry and was prepared to give it another go.
In between meetings with various record labels, D.Lewis worked hard in his home-made studio. He produced beats, recorded songs and compiled a number of tracks which he hoped would one day be recognised. You Tube became his way of letting the world know what he was made of, and he was eventually contacted by an old friend and super producer DLove. DLove organised a meeting with D.Lewis and the team at DNK World Music, in hopes to help D.Lewis get a head start on the career he wanted so bad.
