2nd December 2022, London, UK: Following the critically acclaimed release of his sophomore album,Bridges earlier this year, multi-platinum-selling singer-songwriter Calum Scott today continues momentum with the release of a spellbinding cover of George Michael’s, “One More Try”, a heart-warming tribute to the late singer. This month will mark six years since the industry lost one of its biggest cultural icons and best-selling musicians of all time. You can listen to “One More Try” HERE.
Calum says: “I wanted a challenge. His talent was undeniable. His writing and his attention to detail, his performances—his vocal is unmatched in terms of tone and quality and consistency. He could perform and write and produce—he was a one-stop shop … People I’ve spoken to in the industry that have either worked with him or around him have said how humble or gracious he was, how human he was. He was always putting himself down and thinking he could do better—and that’s something that I massively relate to as an artist. Listening to his music just shows how much he cared about what he did. What makes him even more special is all the charity work he did that he kept completely hidden. He was such a special person and should be celebrated every day.”
2022 bore witness to the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album Bridges, his long awaited follow up to his 2018 debut Only Human which landed at No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in over 20 countries around the world, amassing over 11 billion total global streams and counting. Now certified platinum or gold in 21 countries, Only Human includes his platinum-selling smash “You Are The Reason” a track that hit the top 10 on iTunes single charts in 38 countries. The album also features Calum’s stripped-back, 3x platinum-certified cover of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” which earned a Brit Award nomination in the category of Best British Single. Bridges marked an exciting evolution of his artistry, infusing even more raw emotion into his soulful and timeless sounds with tracks including “Biblical“, “Heaven“, “If You Ever Change Your Mind” and “Rise” which has clocked up an impressive 330 million global streams and 200,000 total album sales to date.
Meanwhile, his UK Top 5 2022 summer smash, “Where Are You Now” with Lost Frequencies has surpassed over 1.5 billion combined streams and is one of the most streamed songs of the year.
After a successful run of shows across the US, UK, Middle East, South Africa, Asia and Australia, Calum continues his Bridges world tour across Europe with an additional 8 stops in cities across Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Czech Republic in April 2023.
