‘A.i. man’ Single Released by. Jazz Singer Songwriter Martha D Lewis
Taken from the album ALL THAT YOU SEE

As one of the main narrative-driven songs it spotlights a zeitgeist issue: The replacement of humanity by machines. Martha ponders the question ‘ if every A.i. man is programmed by humans and we also programming human responses..does this mean they have a soul?’  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 1990’s (then later the song writing duo ‘Martha and Eve’), Martha has spread her solo songwriter and composer wings over the last 20 years, composing for film, theatre and for radio , as well as for her ‘live’ jazz-world ensemble . Martha has also presented BBC Radio Documentaries  as well as a Globally released feature-film documentary in 2014  ‘My Sweet Canary’ .

Martha says in her own words;

“After a vast and varied musical journey in the last 2 decades I returned to song writing in 2018 with a flurry of social – 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 park without the use of a smartphone”. 

The song ‘A.i. man’ itself has 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 Ian Matthews (Kasabian) on drums, bassist Nick Cohen, Aidan Glover on keyboards, Leon Stenning on guitar and .

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 that has a strong narrative and vocals by Martha D. Lewis and is her personal favourite song on ALL THAT YOU SEE.

‘A.i. Man’ releases through Budd on 14 October 2022 to coincide with A.i. Week 2022.

Running from the 10th to 14th October, World AI Week will see 15,000+ people from 160+ countries worldwide descend on Amsterdam for the planet’s only week dedicated to the global AI ecosystem.
