Lewis Capaldi has announced his new album, Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent. The singer-songwriter took to Instagram on October 18th to announce the name and release date of his long-awaited sophomore album.
When the album drops on May 19th, 2023, it will be the follow-up to his 2019 debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent.
Fans were excited to hear of the album announcement as Capaldi hadn't released new material in nearly three years by the time his single "Forget Me" arrived on September 9th, 2022. Earlier this year, Capaldi explained why he hadn't released a follow-up to his debut album. "I just want to say now," the Scottish hitmaker told the crowd at Latitude 2022 this summer. "I have no new music to play you." Capaldi continued, "I rescheduled a lot of shows last year because I was like, ‘Guys, I need to finish my new album’. And I was supposed to do it, but I am horribly lazy.”
In addition to the album announcement, Capaldi also revealed he will be embarking on a 2023 World Tour. Fans who pre-order Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent will receive limited signed copies and a pre-sale access code for the tour. Capaldi will kick off his US tour dates in Nashville, Tennessee on March 30th and conclude in Houston, Texas on May 11th before heading to Australia.
