Lewis Capaldi announces new album and extensive UK tour

Lewis Capaldi has announced his brand new record ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’ – will be released on May 19th 2023 on EMI Records. You can pre-order the album now. It is the follow up to his debut, ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’, which was the biggest selling UK album of both 2019 & 2020.

The idea behind the album is simple but potent: to go in and do the exact same thing. No bells, whistles or starry featured vocalists, and no ruinously expensive stays in distant studios. Like it was on the first album, straight-up, full-force honesty. “I don’t want to create a new sound for myself, or reinvent myself.” says Lewis. “The songs I want to write are emotional songs, about love or loss.”

He soon found a groove that suited him just fine, with a recording setup of just a small interface, laptop, speakers, and a Shure SM7B vocal mic. “I felt like I was sounding better because I was just chilled out in my own gaff. Also, a lot of this record was made with most of the same people who I worked with on the first one: TMS, Phil Plested, Nick Atkinson and Edd Holloway. At least one of them’s on almost every song.”

He will now take to the road next year for a full arena headline tour across the UK & Europe. Pre-sale on Oct 26th, and general sale on Oct 28th.

If his first album made him an international star, with his second it’s nothing less than superstardom that beckons. Fans across the world have connected with ‘Forget Me’ in their droves, showing that the insatiable appetite for Capaldi burns as bright as ever.

“I’m ready,” he concludes, champing at the bit to get back out there, “and so are the songs.”
