Lewis Muller “1 at a Time”

“1 at a Time” explores a tender, intricate relationship of darkness and light in the inner quest for truth and love. The immersive track has a poetic way of exposing vulnerability and one’s darkest secrets on the subject of self acceptance. Many may link the concept of self-acceptance with the uplifting ray of sunshine or something golden and forgiving, but Lewis Muller gets to the core with honesty.

Perfection isn’t the subject. The real beauty in the nature always bears certain flaws and darkness, just like everyone of us. “1 at a Time” doesn’t shy away from tasting the dissonance, the storms, and the unbalance in the sonics without manually tipping the scale one above the other. It respects the ebbs and flows as the tenderness, light, and love battles, intertwined with a darker undertone. It’s naked and natural, and it’s artistically intricate and brave.

An embrace wouldn’t be able to cover the least of it. “1 at a Time” gives you something more powerful and more straightforward. The spirit of the track reminds you of a warrior’s, but at the same time, the theme of surrender doesn’t contradict with the quest.

“1 at a Time” is Lewis Muller’s sophomore release, following his debut “Deny.” His introspective style feels precious, grounding the listeners with journeys of self exploration and contemplation under the silvery moonlight. There’s something nocturnal about music, but it’s the truth and the honesty intricately intertwined with his intimate vocal style and translucent sonic palettes that really touch your heart.
