“Martha D Lewis is a UK-Cypriot singer and songwriter Martha D Lewis stands out from the ‘female jazz
vocalist’ crowd … is a woman with something to say, and a powerful way of saying it. Well worth your
attention and your pocket money”. JAZZWISE
“ALL THAT YOU SEE is an expansive and engaging album put together by an interesting musician, singer
and songwriter with a lot to say and an interesting way of doing it.” Fatea
“…full, dark voice and the accompaniment of an evident mixture of a friendly (soft) rock and a pinch of
blues feeling , art pop, jazz bar elements. Kate Bush in low pitch? Stevie Nicks as Lounge – PopChanteuse?” Westzeit

The album ‘ALL THAT YOU SEE’ opens with the gripping song ‘A.i. man’, a haunting and stark look at the
consequence of “algorithm choice”, the encroachment of machines and technology into our daily lives.
Martha asks: is humanity is creating its own expiry date and preparing for machines to rule? Is humanity
being replaced by machines?
As Martha sings: “You’re the man-made man to take my place / Programmed by humanity / Flesh and
blood and copper wires / Artificiality and Grace/ I’m here for you to see you through an algorithm choice /
You’ll see me through your camera eyes / And I’ll fine tune your voice.”
Martha D. Lewis has an impressive career as a singer-songwriter and storyteller. Starting her journey with
creative partner, Eve Polycarpou in the acclaimed music-comedy duo ‘Donna and Kebab’ in the 1990s (then
later the song writing duo ‘Martha and Eve’), Martha has spread her solo song writing and composing
wings over the last 20 years. Composing for film, theatre and radio as well as for her jazz-world ensemble,
Martha has also presented BBC documentaries and a globally released feature-film in 2014 called ‘My
Sweet Canary’.
‘A.i. man’ is taken from Martha’s critically acclaimed album ALL THAT YOU SEE a journey of love healing
and social commentary songs carefully crafted by British Cypriot music maker, singer + songwriter Martha
D Lewis. As Martha says in her own words, “After a vast and varied musical journey spanning the last 2
decades, I returned to song writing in 2018 with a flurry of socio-political songs about the world around us.
‘A. i. man’ is one such song as ‘fully automated walk-out convenience stores begin to spring up in London,
our elders cannot park their cars in the car parks without the use of a smartphone.”
The song ‘A.i. man’ itself had first-class recording technology applied to it at Real World Studios which is
recognised to be one of the world’s best recording studios. ‘A.i.man’ was mixed by Stephen W. Tayler
(Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Kate Bush) and recorded by an all-star cast with producer and bassist Nick Cohen,
Aidan Glover on keyboards, Leon Stenning on guitar and Ian Matthews (Kasabian) on drums.
ALL THAT YOU SEE is Martha’s sixth album and is a “story of angst and losing faith, healing and gaining
hope” as Martha says. ‘A.i man’ is a song of our times with an edgy mix and strong narrative and lead
vocals by Martha D. Lewis. ‘A.i.man’ is Martha’s favourite song on ALL THAT YOU SEE.
‘A.i. man’ releases through Budd on October 14th to coincide with ‘World A.I. Week 2022’.
Running from the 10th to the 14th October, World A.I. Week will see 15,000 people from 160+ countries
worldwide descend on Amsterdam for the planet’s only week dedicated to the global A.I. ecosystem.
