Lewis is not afraid his edgy style will turn off his American Idol fans who saw mostly his wholesome side on the FOX family show. "I never worried about anyone but myself," he says. "I thought I lost my artistic integrity just by being on a television show that I had never seen. But I didn't want that to happen and I represented myself to the fullest, and the fans responded to that. I take myself seriously, but I don't take myself seriously. I just have fun with what I'm doing."

The singer not only had a vision about the music he wanted to put out, but also about the visual presentation of it, including the striking album cover for "Audio Day Dream." It was inspired by this digital art piece that I found on the internet with two faces and it was very futuristic, very sort of Star Wars meets '80s," he explains. "I'm lost in music. I hope that's what listeners will get it from this music, they can just turn it on and just press play."
