Los Angeles, CA — Rising singer-songwriter and rap artist Lewis Fitzgerald releases emotive genre-blending single “Short Ride” — streaming now on all major platforms.

21-year-old rap artist Lewis Fitzgerald's much anticipated single, “Short Ride,” featuring Wewantwraiths and produced by renowned producer Benji Gibson (Fred again, Headie One, Aitch).

The idea for 'Short Ride' was sparked when Lewis Fitzgerald paid a visit to his sick friend in the hospital. There, he overheard an emotional dialogue between the young woman and her cancer-stricken mother who passionately encouraged her daughter to live fast and die young. This resonated with Lewis so deeply that it became the foundation of inspiration for this song's concept.

Featuring genre-blending instrumental pulling elements from pop and R&B, Lewis creates a unique melodic rap vibe when combined with his enthralling vocals. Fitzgerald’s honest and emotive lyricism and silky smooth vocal production solidifies “Short Ride” as a certified banger.

Lewis Fitzgerald shares, "This song represents some of my childhood and things I went through, I had suicidal thoughts and attempts when I was younger and it's kind of like my way of releasing that pain now through this sound, remembering how it was and how I thought at the time, it's like me saying it to myself."

The pop-R&B singer has garnered a continuously expanding and enthusiastic following on social media, and is now geared up for an explosive 2023 featuring a succession of singles, the release of a debut EP, and a lineup of gigs in the UK & Ireland.
