Originally released in 2000, Lewis II is the long-awaited follow-up to Lewis Taylor’s cult-classic debut—and now finally available on vinyl for the first time via Be With Records.

Recorded after the rejection of The Lost Album, Lewis II leans into a smoother, more polished sound: sophisticated funk, R&B, and neo-soul with slick production and tighter grooves. Taylor's falsetto glides over crisp beats, deep basslines, and lush arrangements, blending late-'90s R&B with touches of psych-soul and experimental pop.

Standout tracks include the moody funk of “Party,” the sun-drenched bounce of “The Way You Done Me,” and the sultry slow-burner “Satisfied.” The closing reinterpretation of Jeff Buckley’s “Everybody Here Wants You” is a bold, soulful finale.

A timeless, genre-blurring gem from one of UK soul’s most visionary artists.
