Lewis Capaldi Reveals Genius Debut Album Title & New UK Tour Dates
Lewis Capaldi might have just won Best Album Title Of 2019 having just announced details of his forthcoming debut album.
'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent' will be released SO SOON on 17th May, and will be available on 12" LP, CD and CD Box which comes with exclusive sunglasses and a Lewis Capaldi calender and we want it all NOW.
Capaldi, who last month won our MTV PUSH: Ones To Watch 2019 title and is currently Top 3 with his latest single 'Someone You Loved', said:
"I’m absolutely buzzing to finally be able to announce my debut album. I never thought I’d get to the point where I’d be able to release a proper album and I ABSOLUTELY never thought that when I did, I would give it a name as stupid I have, but here we are.
"Everyone always tells you about how amazing recording their first album was and how they’ll always look back on the ‘process’ with fond memories. I will look back on it as an extremely stressful time that somehow also managed to be extremely boring. The actual process of building the songs up I loved, but recording the same guitar parts over and over again to get them right and going back on mixes for weeks, I did not.
"I hope people don’t think it’s sh*t. I mean don’t get me wrong there will be one or two stinkers on there, but I’m only human and we all make mistakes, but as a whole I think it’s pretty f**king good.
"I’m excited for it to be released and have people finally be able to hear a full body of work from me for the first time. Should it bomb completely or receive an absolute critical lambasting, don’t worry, it’s just my life’s work up until this point…"
We've got a feeling we're going to love it, Lewis.
