Lewis, who hails from West Lothian, has been teasing the news all day today, as he tweeted earlier: "new album and tour anyone?" This tweet went viral immediately as people cheered for the imminent news.
Speaking on the new album, Lewis said: "I don't want to create a new sound for myself, or reinvent myself. The songs I want to write are emotional songs, about love or loss.
He soon found a groove that suited him just fine, with a recording setup of just a small interface, laptop, speakers, and a Shure SM7B vocal mic. Lewis continued: “I felt like I was sounding better because I was just chilled out in my own gaff.
"Also, a lot of this record was made with most of the same people who I worked with on the first one: TMS, Phil Plested, Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway. At least one of them is on almost every song.”
