Lewis Capaldi has announced his second studio album, ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’

Following his recent comeback with the new single ‘Forget Me’, Lewis Capaldi has announced the upcoming arrival of his new full-length album, ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’.

This second LP will be released on May 19th 2023 via EMI Records, so there’s still a wait ahead – plenty of time to try out one of Capaldi’s own frozen pizzas, then.

The news follows his chart-topping comeback single, ‘Forget Me’ (“I meet lady, lady leaves me, I whine about it in a pop song”), which was the Glasgow singer’s first new material since his debut record, ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’. The 12-tracker, originally released in May 2019, would go on to become the UK’s highest-selling album of that year, and the year to follow.

Moving forwards, then, Capaldi didn’t have much of a desire to change his tactics. “I don’t want to create a new sound for myself, or reinvent myself,” he states. “The songs I want to write are emotional songs, about love or loss.”

Instead, the singer decided to find an atmosphere from which he felt comfortable to create: “I felt like I was sounding better because I was just chilled out in my own gaff,” Lewis recalls. “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.”

Although he has used 2022’s various performances – including headline sets at TRNSMT and Latitude festivals – to admit that he’s terrified to see how the new material will go down, it seems the success of ‘Forgot Me’ has eased Capaldi up a bit. “I’m ready,” he announces, “and so are the songs.”

You can pre-order ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’ here for pre-sale access to a newly-announced 2023 world tour – full dates are available here. Tickets will be available next Friday, October 28th, with pre-sale opening 48 hours prior.

In the meantime, Lewis Capaldi has released an acoustic version of his current single, ‘Forget Me’, which you can view below:
