Lewis Capaldi releases powerful anthem Almost

Lewis Capaldi has released the powerful anthem, Almost.

The 27-year-old singer dropped the third offering from his upcoming EP Survive on Friday (24.10.25). It follows the stirring title track and Something In The Heavens.

Almost is described as a “raw and intimate exploration of what it means to move on – or at least try to.”

He sings: “I swear to God I’m almost alright, I only think about you all the time.”

The Survive EP lands on November 14, and will be completed by the yet-to-be-released final track, The Day That I Die’ – which has been reducing fans to tears at Lewis’ live shows.

Lewis’ latest heart-wrenching songs come after he hinted his next album will be upbeat.

The Scottish chart-topper is known for his brooding ballads, but that looks set to change with the follow-up to 2023’s Broken By Desire to Be Heavenly Sent.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show this week, he said: “I would like to start making happy music. News flash, breaking news. Next album I am doing, it’s happy. It’s happy, happy stuff.”

Lewis made his grand return to the stage at Glastonbury this summer, two years after he was forced to end his set early amid his struggles with Tourette syndrome.

He also released the poignant song Survive about coming through a dark period.

The 29-year-old star is set to have huge 2026, with a summer packed with live shows, including headlining The Isle of Wight Festival on June 19.

Lewis is also set for two nights at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 23 and 24.

He will headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Saturday, July 11 and 12.

Further dates include Thomond Park in Limerick on June 26, Exeter’s TK Maxx Presents Live at Powderham on June 27 and 28, and Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields on June 30 and July 1.

Also in July, Lewis will play the inaugural American Express presents Roundhay Festival in Leeds on July 4.

The following month, he will perform in front of the masses at Belfast Vital and Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park.
