Calum Scott has remained one of the UK’s best pop voices since his 2017 breakthrough You Are the Reason, and has since gone on two release two successful albums – as well as a series of singles ranging from club classics to big pop ballads. He journeys towards his third album, Avenoir, which arrives Friday 12th of September.
The LP is set to feature Callum’s brand new single God Knows – released via Capitol Records – a collaboration between the British singer-songwriter and Charlie Martin, Joe Housley and Jon Maguire. The single launched with pre-order for Calum’s upcoming album which will also feature his previous releases My World, Roots, Lighthouse and At Your Worst.
Calum’s website shares: “His third studio album is Avenoir. Avenoir refers to how we move through life like a rower moves; always moving forward but facing backward, seeing where we’ve been, but not where we’re going. The title, inspired by writer John Koenig, poses the question, ‘It’s hard not to wonder what life would be like facing the other way.’”
It continues: “The songs on this album speak to both regret and sorrow, and undying love — a plea to live life to its fullest. While writing the album, I asked myself, ‘If I could, would I choose to be able to see what’s coming?’ and I truly believe we are made from our successes and our challenges, from adapting and overcoming. The concept of ‘Avenoir’ challenges all of us to live in the present, serving as a constant reminder that it is the surprises in life and the not knowing that makes life terrifying, but truly magical.”
A full tracklist for the album has yet to be unveiled, but the album can be pre-ordered from Calum’s site.
