LEWIS CAPALDI


I saw Lewis Capaldi on Graham Norton last night and sometimes we just want him to do SO well. Hoping he isn't going to just be a one hit wonder after 'Someone You Loved' which is so exceptionally fine . . . on this evidence alone he is going to be around for some time to come . . . . . 

The new single is extraordinary and here is the evidence. The intensity of emotion in this young man's voice is so moving, a blues for the 21stC and he has a gift of nature in his ability to sing in this way. Perfect pitch I imagine and I am not sure anyone appreciates really how difficult singing like this actually is. Especially when the music can be so sparse. Staggering piece of work and as the post interview clearly shows and young man with a finely tuned sense of humour. 
We LOVE Lewis round our way!
