Lewis Capaldi Vows to Deliver Upbeat Tunes for Next Album

In a recent interview, Scottish chart-topping singer Lewis Capaldi has revealed that his next album will feature a significant shift in his musical style. Known for his emotive, brooding ballads, Capaldi has promised to deliver "happy, happy stuff" for his upcoming release, set to follow 2023's Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

This announcement comes on the heels of Capaldi's latest single, the heart-wrenching "Something In The Heavens," released just last month. The tear-jerking ballad sees the 29-year-old star singing about loss and the hope of reuniting with a loved one in the afterlife.

However, it appears Capaldi is ready to move in a more upbeat direction with his music. As he told BBC Radio 2's Scott Mills, "I would like to start making happy music. News flash, breaking news. Next album I am doing, it's happy. It's happy, happy stuff."

Fans of the "Someone You Loved" hitmaker can look forward to a busy 2026, as Capaldi has a packed summer schedule of live shows. This includes headlining high-profile festivals such as The Isle of Wight, BST Hyde Park, and the inaugural American Express presents Roundhay Festival in Leeds. He will also perform in Dublin, Limerick, Exeter, Cardiff, Belfast, and Manchester.

Capaldi's shift to a more upbeat sound marks an exciting new chapter for the Scottish artist, who has previously been open about his struggles with Tourette syndrome. With his powerful vocals and emotive songwriting, Capaldi is poised to captivate audiences with his upcoming releases, both in terms of his music and his personal journey.
