Lewis Capaldi has spoken about his upcoming album ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’, describing it as “the same” as what’s come before.
Due for release May 19, 2023, ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’ is the follow-up to Capaldi’s 2019 debut album ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’ and has been teased by new single ‘Forget Me’.
“All in all, the album’s the same. I like making this music; it’s done all right in the past.”
He continued: “I don’t have this sort of artistic desire to go off and reinvent myself. Not at all. I feel like the same person, so why would I be searching for something new?”
Capaldi went on to say how he was “very conscious about not writing an album about being famous, being successful” because no one wants to hear “‘Oh, I’m famous and my life’s shit and I’m crying in my big house.’”
“I don’t want to inflict that on people, especially now, when people are actually going through some real shit: complaining about being famous, ‘Oh, my fucking Bentley has a flat tyre,’” he added.
He went on to say that he wrote the record during the height of the COVID pandemic. “Everyone was in their houses, so my lived experience at that time was the same four walls, with my family, stuck in the same place I grew up – I was quite literally right back where I was on the first record,” Capaldi explained. “If anything, getting famous and all the rest of it has made me sort of run back to my home town and my family and friends and stuff, all these sort of grounding things.”
