CALUM SCOTT’S DEBUT ALBUM,  ONLY HUMAN, OUT TODAY

LEAD SINGLE, “YOU ARE THE REASON” SURPASSES 100 MILLION STREAMS WORLDWIDE

VIDEO FOR DUET VERSION FEATURING LEONA LEWIS, PREMIERES ON VEVO

09 MARCH 2018 (Toronto, ON) —Today, Calum Scott releases his debut album, Only Human, via Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. Available online now, the album includes breakout U.K. artist, singer and songwriter’s lead single, “You Are The Reason”, which has surpassed over 100 million worldwide streams. In addition, views of the official video topped 20 million in the first two weeks and are fast approaching 60 million.

Most recently, Scott teamed up with vocal powerhouse and three-time Grammy nominee Leona Lewis on a stirring rendition of the track, along with a brand-new video of the duet which can be viewed below:

Written by Scott, Jon Maguire and Corey James Sanders, the emotionally resonant piano ballad is one of numerous songs produced for the album by Fraser T Smith (Adele, Ellie Goulding).  Scott also worked with producers Jayson DeZuzio, (Skylar Grey, Imagine Dragons) Oak Felder, (Alessia Cara, Demi Lovato), Oscar Gorres (Taylor Swift, Britney Spears), and Phil Paul (Maroon 5). 

“To me, Only Human means being okay with how you feel,” says Scott. “My hope is that these songs encourage people to embrace who they are, so that there’s a little less fear in the world and a lot more love.”

With his delicate storytelling, Scott examines unrequited longing on tracks like the aching piano ballad “Hotel Room”.  “Only You” blends graceful beats with lyrics that capture adolescent isolation (“So they bullied me with silence/Just for being who I am”), then pay tribute to a beloved friend who brought him solace, while “What I Miss Most” unfolds as a triumphant homage to his hometown of Kingston upon Hull, located in Northern England. Watch Scott perform the bright and soaring track live from Abbey Road Studios HERE.

Scott’s poignant version of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own” has become a global viral sensation. Nominated for a Brit Award, the track charted at No. 1 on iTunes in 11 countries. The track has over 670 million streams worldwide and views of the video are approaching 250 million. 

In addition to 11 original tracks, the album also includes Scott’s evocative acoustic version of Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet”. See below for full track listing.
