"With a pair of Australian multi-platinum smash hits under his belt, singer/songwriter Dean Lewis issued his debut album, A Place We Knew, in early 2019. Balancing emotive acoustic moments with robust bursts reminiscent of an Ed Sheeran-fronted Mumford & Sons, Lewis mined the highs and lows of life and love, offering bittersweet glimpses of past relationships with anguished introspection ... Indeed, Lewis occasionally veers too close to woe-is-me self-pity, but his empathy pulls the album from that edge. With A Place We Knew, he is not just a shoulder to cry on, but one to cry with".
