Lewis Capaldi has revealed that his next album will have a much more upbeat sound.

The Scottish chart-topper, famous for his emotional ballads, is ready to try something new with the follow-up to his 2023 release Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

Speaking to Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2’s Breakfast Show on Monday morning (October 20, 2025), he shared: “I would like to start making happy music. News flash, breaking news. Next album I am doing, it’s happy. It’s happy, happy stuff.”

This marks a shift from his most recent single Something In The Heavens, released in September. The tearful track reflects on loss, with the Someone You Loved singer pouring his heart into the line: “I’ll love you til my last breath, you’re gone but something in the heavens tells me that we’ll be together again.”

Lewis made a big return to the stage at Glastonbury this summer, two years after he had to cut his set short due to his struggles with Tourette syndrome. He also released Survive, a deeply personal song about overcoming difficult times.

The 29-year-old is gearing up for a massive 2026, with a packed summer schedule that includes headlining the Isle of Wight Festival on June 19.

He will also perform two nights at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 23 and 24.

Lewis is set to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park on July 11 and 12.

Other dates include Thomond Park in Limerick on June 26, Exeter’s TK Maxx Presents Live at Powderham on June 27 and 28, and Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields on June 30 and July 1.

In July, he will also take the stage at the first American Express presents Roundhay Festival in Leeds on July 4.

The following month, Lewis will continue his run of major shows with performances at Belfast Vital and Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park.
