Dean Lewis - The Hardest Love

The Hardest Love is the second studio album by Australian singer songwriter Dean Lewis, released in November 2022 via Island Records.

‘The Hardest Love’ is Dean Lewis’ second album and follow up to his # 1 debut album ‘A Place We Knew.’ The album features hit singles ‘How Do I Say Goodbye’ ‘Hurtless’ and ‘Looks Like Me.’

Nearly all of these songs are about one girl,” Dean explains of the 10 new tracks on The Hardest Love. “She's from Colorado, now she lives in LA, but I spent three, four years on the road thinking about her, calling her, writing songs for her. It was kind of a long-distance thing, but we became really, really close because I didn't really have a home.”

As the rigours of the road ground to a sudden halt, the dream fell to Earth. “She was not the person, and I wasn't ready,” Dean says. “We just didn't work out. To me it was quite a dramatic thing because the person that I'd built up in my head didn't exist. So all these songs just poured out ...”

From hope to heartache and back again, The Hardest Love is “totally reflective of where I was in my life at that time’.

This album is on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via Island Records.
