Lewis Capaldi: West Lothian star won't release new music in 2020 as 'people have suffered enough'

Apologies in advance to any Lewis Capaldi fans reading this as it won't be the news you're hoping for - the Scottish singer has written 50 new songs for his second album, but don't expect them anytime soon.

Speaking to the Daily Star (via Radio X), however, the West Lothian-born superstar has now confirmed that new music won’t be arriving until 2021 at the earliest.

“Hopefully I will release a new song and a new album next year,” he said.

“I won’t release another album this year or anything.

“I think people have suffered enough in 2020 – they don’t need another song from me.”

“So far we’ve written like 50 songs for it and like three or four of them are good, which is a good ratio I think.

“I am surprised at how productive I have been during lockdown as I thought I’d just sit in my pants all day and that would be it.”

Lewis Capaldi topped the charts with his first album 'Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent' when it was released last year.
