What do we think of this new chart sensation? I know he is not this sites usual cup of tea but I am falling madly in love with his music. He is also very funny on social media.
 
When did it become OK for pop stars to look like they'd just rolled out of bed? I'm all for not fat-shaming and ugly-shaming etc, but MAKE A FUCKING EFFORT.
 
And yes I went searching for a Lewis Capaldi topic just to say that because I'm really upset that Sheeran has been replaced by someone just as awful and he has two songs in the top 10 that prevented Dua going top 10 with Physical so YES I'M ANGRY.

In fairness, she stopped herself going top ten in the first place.
 
Anyway, I hate that wobble thing he does with his lower jaw, and his pronunciation is awful at times.
 
I quite like the fact that a thread was started nine months ago on one of the biggest pop stars of the last year and not a single person replied :D

BAD CWEJ
 
Wait until you hear Thursdays announcement. This thread may well TAKE OFF.

Duet with Kylie? Representing the UK at Eurovision? Does he ride down hill on a hospital bed in his new video? New album called "Tangled In A Cow Grate"?

Oh I was trying to whip them up in to a frenzy over Eurovision, but not one person bit. :(
 
never heard the original, or any Lewis Capaldi song in fact, but this reasonably poppers o' clock remix of Bruises is really good

 
I listened to several of them yesterday after posting @Rita hun and nope, first time! I don't live in the UK, hear music in stores or listen to radio ever :D
 
I'm amazed you haven't heard Someone You Loved! It's basically been the biggest and most unavoidable song (for straights) for the past TWO YEARS!

That said, I don't hate Lewis Capaldi. At least he has a PERSONALITY!
 
the pitchfork review of the album has a 4.0 score but is quite a bit nicer than their recent Ed Sheeran write-up. they single out that song as "one of two good ones" :D

Lewis Capaldi: Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent

Read Laura Snapes’ review of the album.
pitchfork.com pitchfork.com

These fears underpin Broken’s only two properly good songs. “The Pretender” reveals the depths of Capaldi’s insecurities, whether as a lover or a performer: “So tell me who you want me to be/I can wear a million faces/’Cos I don’t like the one underneath,” he sings, and the pain in his voice is shapeshifting and ragged, rather than blasting like an alarm. The racing piano and swirling tempest of strings actually feel like they might break apart, and the effect is stirring. And the Max Martin co-write “Leave Me Slowly” totally shifts tone from soggy piano to dazzling keys right out of Prince’s “I Would Die 4 U.” The epic mode, right down to a wibbling guitar solo, makes Capaldi’s bloodletting feel right at home. It’s a delightful surprise near the end of the album, like finding the sparkly toy in a box of stale cornflakes.​
​
Why is there not more of this stylistic variation when it works so well? Divinely Uninspired was pretty conservative but it might as well be SZA’s SOS compared to Broken. ​
​
Leave Me Slowly is alright
 
Have we seen the video for his most recent single? I swear he’s just taking the full piss at this point. Utterly shameless, mawkish shite. :D

 
from the description of his documentary (who's watching it?!) in that Pitchfork review, it sounds like he has no creative control at all and his management is steering the ship.

so I'm not sure he's taking the piss himself, he seems like he's got his own issues to worry about. poor guy. I like him, sorry!
