-Reviews/ Mutti Lewis in the Media-
Mutti Lewis said, "I'm a citizen of the world and love is his religion"... Spreading this message [of love] is the driving force behind Lewis' music...
-by, Sean Spillan of the Connecticut Post
Lewis' music is smooth, seeped in jazz and [roots] Rhythm and Blues... Mutti has a voice which washes warmly over top and is no doubt sincere in its sentiments. "Think they have us running but we're not going to hide he sings, The sword of truth, yeah, will surely cut through their lies/ we can conquer opression, paint a rainbow of truth in their sky." For most of us it takes a musical context to believe in anything so naievely hopeful as love and peace. Music is one of the artistic forms that provide an immediate antidote to a culture and community wrapped in fear. "I thought this was the age of conciousness," Lewis says, "but I've never seen so much fear in America." The musician, who speaks in a soothing baritone voice and shakes a head full of thick dreads, takes comfort in nearby Seaside Park in Bridgeport, which he says has been my solace for years.
