Lewis Capaldi: everything you need to know about the singer’s upcoming album ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’

Lewis Capaldi’s long-awaited second album ‘Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent’ will be released on Friday, May 19. The singer, 26, from Glasgow, announced his new album in October last year after beginning writing the music during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The highly anticipated album comes three years after his debut chat-topper ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.’ After the success of his first album, the creation of the sophomore album was not an easy process. Lewis even had to pause writing in order to prioritise his mental health. He explored the process of writing the album in his Netflix documentary ‘How I’m Feeling Now.’ 

Lewis has released four singles from his album already: ‘Forget Me,’ ‘How I’m Feeling Now,’ ‘Pointless’ and ‘Wish You The Best.’ While on the US leg of his tour, Lewis performed ‘Wish You The Best’ at multiple venues before it was officially released, and it became his fifth UK number 1 single in April. The hit track has taken the internet by storm after the heartbreaking music video went viral, reaching over 12 million views since its release on April 14.

Lewis has revealed that the album will have 12 tracks in total, with the Apple Music version having two additional tracks: the orchestral version of ‘How I’m Feeling Now’ and an additional song listed on Apple Music as ‘Track 14.’
