We are pleased to do this new Q&A interview with Calum Scott. Following 25 shows in North America, he will be performing shows in Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. This summer, Scott is looking forward to launching his global concert tour, which starts in the U.S. In addition to his new album, Bridges, Scott recently enjoyed international chart success for his lead vocal performance on Lost Frequencies’ dance/pop hit, “Where Are You Now.” Notably, his video for this song has now attracted over 800 million views on YouTube, and his duet video of this song with pop star Leona Lewis has over 400 million views. That album contained Scott’s most popular song “You Are The Reason,” which became a hit in many countries. The success of his TV appearances and the single “Dancing On My Own” led to Scott securing a label deal with Capitol Records in 2016, and he subsequently released his debut album, Only Human, in 2018. Scott made a strong impression by singing a slower, heartfelt version of Robyn’s hit “Dancing On My Own,” which later became a hit single for him. His initial breakthrough came in 2015, when he appeared on Britain’s Got Talent TV show. Scott grew up in Yorkshire, England, and he developed a love for music and singing at a young age. Here’s the video of Calum Scott’s single, “Heaven.” The album’s closing song, “Bridges,” is a stark, deeply personal song that contemplates suicide, but ends with a more hopeful, positive outlook. Scott has recorded his moving interpretation of Greg Holden’s compelling song “Boys in the Street,” which is a heartbreaking account of a father’s struggle to accept his openly gay son. The 14-song Bridges album ends with two more highlights. Other highlights on the album are the uplifting, uptempo anthem “Rise,” the midtempo cut “Run With Me,” which has a soaring melody in the chorus, and the ballad “Flaws,” which has a sensitive, empathetic lyric. One of the key songs on Bridges is Scott’s new single, the romantic, blissful ballad, “Heaven.” This song has such universal appeal, that Scott has already sung duets and filmed videos of “Heaven” with international artists Lyodra (from Indonesia), Darren Espanto (Canada) and Hoang Duyen (Vietnam). In addition, the songs have articulate and personal lyrics, that show Scott’s honest, open and thoughtful feelings and perspective. The album is full of heartfelt, emotional songs, with beautiful melodies, soaring lead vocals, and classic pop music arrangements and production. Scott’s new album, Bridges, showcases his powerful lead vocal performances, and his growth as a songwriter. Here’s an excerpt of our interview with Calum Scott, who tells the story of his new single, “Heaven,” which is the final song he wrote for his album.
