Having just signed to LPW Records this year, Phil Lewis is back with his new single.
'Dumb and Stupid' is one of those songs that grows on you. The over-all pop offering has hidden moments of soft rock and quirky rewind noises which add to the depth of the song. This is a brilliant track and the catchy "do do do do do doo" bit gets you "dooing" along, long after the record has ended.
B-side 'It Never Stops' isn't as good as 'Dumb and Stupid', but it still gains brownie points on the guitar build up at the end. Yet again this track has a mature sound and feel and you can see Phil developing before your eyes.
I wasn't such a huge fan of Phil Lewis in the end, but like all cheese you have to let it ripen with age!
