Lewis Capaldi

About

It was almost two years since the Scottish singer-songwriter had released his debut, an album whose blockbuster success had kept him on the road, round the world, constantly in that time. 'Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent' was a set of self-written songs that, out of nowhere – well, out of fiercely passionate word-of-mouth enthusiasm, viral streaming and wall-to-wall airplay – captivated the planet.

Breakthrough single 'Someone You Loved' was 2019’s sound of spring, a seven-week Number One and the biggest selling single in the UK that year. The following year it won Song of the Year at the Brit Awards (while Capaldi won Best New Artist), by which time it had also reached the top of the Billboard charts in the US, and been nominated for a Grammy. And now? It’s the longest-running UK Top 10 single by a British artist ever – and, with 2.3 billion plays, it’s the fifth-most streamed song on Spotify of all time.

With that tailwind, little wonder, perhaps, that even before he’d released 'Divinely Inspired…', Capaldi was a record-breaker: he was the first artist to sell-out an arena tour prior to putting out his debut album. He sold all 100,000 tickets in 10 minutes, long before the album was the fastest – and biggest – selling of 2019, and was lodged at the top of the charts for 10 weeks. It would also go on to be the biggest selling album of 2020.

His latest single, 'Forget Me', comes from his eagerly anticipated second album: a set of songs that will catapult him into the stratosphere. 'Forget Me' is evidence of the consistency of Capaldi’s songwriting talent – and of the skyscraping, planet-sized ambition of an artist on the cusp of global superstardom!
