Sometimes a single song is enough to cause a sensation. That's exactly what 23-year-old Scot Lewis Capaldi managed to do just over two years ago: When he uploaded the song "Bruises" to online music services, the touching track became one of the most influential debut singles of the year overnight and was listened to over ten million times in no time on Spotify alone. This May saw the release of their eagerly anticipated debut album, Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent. The longplayer entered the top ten in almost all European nations and secured the record for the best-selling debut album by a British artist in the last decade. After four completely sold-out headline tours through Europe's clubs, Lewis Capaldi will embark on his first arena tour in spring 2020, stopping in Germany for four concerts between February 4 and 9.
Considering the past months and the unparalleled enthusiasm for Lewis Capaldi, this leads to only one conclusion: no matter what else you listen to and prefer stylistically, the pure emotionality in songwriting and the breathtaking multi-faceted richness of Capaldi's vocals seem to ultimately reach and carry away everyone. It's not often you hear a song about failed love as authentic as "Bruises," which alternates between deep melancholy and subtle hope. On Spotify alone, the single has now been streamed nearly 200 million.
