Originally hailing from the West coast of Wales, singer/songwriter Danielle Lewis gained attention with her Live Forever EP in 2018, its bold authenticity began to attract attention on a wider scale, including that of Super Furry Animal Cian Ciaran, who even offered to remix its title track.
Returning in 2019, Danielle grew her reputation with the acclaimed single A Woman Like You, an empowering track that expanded into the realms of dream pop and drew warm comparisons to Karen Carpenter. With her live plans shelved in 2020, Danielle took the opportunity to release two further tracks: Life of Worth and Flower, each of which find the singer delving into new sonic territory.

Danielle’s self-composed new single, Help Me is produced by Secondson (who also contributes acoustic guitar, bass, drums and synthesizer) and was recorded at Cardiff’s Sail Loft Studios before mixing and mastering was contributed by Leon West at Cardiff’s After Life Studios, with additional engineering by Thomas V Westgård .
