Lewis Capaldi has promised his next album will be upbeat

Lewis Capaldi has promised his next album will be upbeat.

The Scottish chart-topper is known for his brooding ballads, but that looks set to change with the follow-up to 2023's Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show on Monday morning (20.10.25), he said: “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.”

By contrast, the Someone You Loved hitmaker released the heart-wrenching single, Something In The Heavens, in September.

He sings on the tear-jerking ballad about loss: “I’ll love you til my last breath, you’re gone but something in the heavens tells me that we’ll be together again."

Lewis made his grand return to the stage at Glastonbury this summer, two years after he was forced to end his set early amid his struggles with Tourette syndrome.

He also released the poignant song Survive about coming through a dark period.
