TREY LEWIS

                                                              "Up Yours" 

                                                              Independent Release

Trey Lewis walks fluidly between the two vastly different sides of his arsenal, delivering very solid, modern drafted efforts on each side of the line while solidifying himself as one of the strongest independent artists on the country music circuit today.

On the softer tilt, Lewis has shined an amazing spotlight on mental health awareness through “Little Tired,” while also wowing with the tender-hearted ode to his mother, “Whatever She Sees In Me.”

But in-between these incredible heart tugging songs, Lewis has absolutely gleamed himself as the master of a catchy, memorable breakup song that makes you sing along; starting with his massive breakout hit “Dicked Down in Dallas,” and continuing with “Single Again” and the can’t let her go, hook-up anthem, “My Ex Came Over Last Night.”

He stays in that same, memorably catchy zone with what is destined to become the next song that everyone is playing on repeat, “ Up Yours.”

“There's a big detour down third street, so I had to drive up yours,” opens the song that sees Lewis leaning into slick guitar riffs as he sings through the trying to get over you lyric, taking us straight to a new bar with him and his buddies; the unassuming place where memories of her keep popping up.

Painting perfect pictures of everywhere that her memory is seeping in, Lewis hooks in the listener with clever “up yours” lines throughout each of the verses such as:

“This place ain’t up my alley, nah, but girl it's right up yours”

“I know you ain’t got a tab in here, but if ya did I'd run up yours”

Confessing in the bridge that he hopes he’s messing up her nights the same way that she’s been messing up his, helps make the punch of the chorus hit harder as he continues to spell out the many ways that his night at the bar continues to get screwed up by her memory:

“Of all the songs the band can play

There they go crankin' up yours

Ran into your friend old what's her name

And she keeps bringing up yours

Let it rain I pour, y’ain't mine no more

I thought whisky's 'sposed to drown a memory

But it just keeps on stirring up yours”

Trey Lewis’ up-tempo releases are always infectiously catchy, uber memorable, and absolutely leave the listener humming along well after their final notes are played. Sticking well within this strong side of what he brings to the modern country music table, he once again tackles those feats with “Up Yours.”
