Breakout Events is excited to announce the return of Calum Scott for another tour of SA this November, reaching Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg. Tickets are on sale now from https://breakoutevents.co.za/. This local tour follows the recent announcement of his headlining summer tour of North America. Earlier this year, Calumpremiered his emotionally empowered new single and video “If You Ever Change Your Mind“. A bittersweet but uplifting reflection on a painful relationship, “If You Ever Change Your Mind” is the third song that Calum has shared from his highly anticipated second album, ‘Bridges‘, which will be released on 17 June 2022. Preceding this and second off the soon to be released new album, his triumphant single “ Rise” — a timely and exhilarating anthem of resilience, which is still in some of SA’s top 20 radio charts today, offers exactly the kind of reassurance needed in these difficult times. As the song unfolds in a joyful and majestic sound — pounding drums, glorious harmonies, urgent piano work — Calum delivered a spirited vocal performance that perfectly captures the uplifting message at the heart of “Rise.” The first single from the upcoming second album, “ Biblical” was his first new music since his full-length debut Only Human — a 2018 release that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries & more across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and amassing over 7.5 billion combined streams. If these latest singles are an indication of the album’s trajectory, we’re in for a soulful journey. Fans can pre-order the album now, HERE. Taking it back a good few years, Calum’s heart-warming appearance on 2015’s Britain’s Got Talent shot him to viral global stardom, and when he officially released his audition song ‘Dancing On My Own’ as the lead single from the debut album ‘Only Human’, it took the world by storm, making him a household name. ‘Dancing On My Own’ quickly charted in over 34 countries on Spotify, peaking at No. 1 on the Viral chart in six weeks, including the U.S. It was the best-selling U.K. single of 2016 by a British solo artist and was nominated for a Brit Award for Best Single. The song has over 2 billion streams globally, while the music video sets its sight on half a billion views. Only Human was the result of a long, cathartic songwriting journey. The album has already gone 2 x PLATINUM in South Africa, with single ‘You Are The Reason’ reaching 2 X PLATINUM in SA. Filled with deeply personal material, Scott’s ability to transform pain into beauty is undeniable, whether he is addressing coming out to his father, unrequited longing, adolescent isolation, or the gratitude he feels toward his sister Jade, who pushed him to sing on stage for the first time and auditioned alongside him on Britain’s Got Talent. Scott’s elegantly sculpted pop centres on his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, exemplified in gently uplifting single ‘You Are The Reason, aching piano ballad ‘Hotel Room’ and hit single ‘Rhythm Inside’. The singer’s ability to consistently build on his gift for poignant, emotionally charged performances is a sure sign of the lasting impact the Englishman will continue to have on all who hear his voice. Calum has amassed over 7.5 billion total global streams and still counting, and is now certified platinum or gold in 21 countries and has landed at No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in over 20 countries around the world. To experience his talent in the flesh is unmissable and will echo in memory for those that get to see and hear him live on stage!

Now certified platinum or gold in 21 countries, Only Human includes his platinum-selling smash “You Are The Reason,” a track that cracked the top 25 on Spotify’s US Viral 50 and hit the top 10 on iTunes single charts in 38 countries. The album also features Calum’s stripped-back, platinum-certified cover of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own,” which earned a Brit Award nomination in the category of Best British Single. His first new music since Only Human, Calum’s track “Biblical” marked an exciting evolution of his artistry, infusing even more raw emotion into his soulful and timeless sound. With its title referring to “a love of biblical proportions that transcends everyone and everything,” according to Calum, the piano-laced ballad is the first song released from his highly anticipated sophomore album Bridges, due out on June 17. Released in October 2021, “Rise” brings Calum‘s warm yet powerful vocals to a majestic sound created with the help of producers Gabe Simon (Maroon 5, Rag’n’Bone Man) and Jon Maguire (James Bay, Liam Payne, Rita Ora). “‘Rise’ celebrates overcoming, defeating the odds, and prevailing despite the obstacles or the knock-backs you face along the way,” says Calum. Over the last few years, his songs have appeared on countless TV shows (including “American Idol,” “The Voice,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and many more), while Calum has performed on such shows as “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “Ellen,” “Good Morning America,” “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” “Dancing With The Stars,” “The TODAY Show,“ and “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” among others. In addition, he’s garnered acclaim from outlets including Billboard (who hailed his “stunningly pure voice“), The Huffington Post (who stated that “Scott makes an impressive splash…compelling”), and Ones to Watch (who noted that Calum’s music “elegantly transforms pain into beauty”). |
