Calum Scott - Avenoir (Orange Vinyl LP) PRE-ORDER

With his powerful voice and soul-baring songwriting, Calum Scott creates the kind of deeply resonant

songs primed to accompany the most meaningful moments in our lives.

Since the release of his 2017 breakthrough single “You Are The Reason,” the UK-based artist has

heard from countless fans across the globe who’ve used the platinum-selling smash as the

soundtrack for such major events as weddings and end-of-life rituals, or who’ve turned to his music

for solace in enduring tremendous heartbreak and loss.

His third studio album is Avenoir. Avenoir refers to how we move through life like a rower moves;

always moving forward but facing backward, seeing where we've been, but not where we're going.

The title, inspired by writer John Koenig, poses the question, ‘It’s hard not to wonder what life would

be like facing the other way.’ The songs on this album speak to both regret and sorrow, and undying

love — a plea to live life to its fullest. While writing the album, I asked myself, ‘If I could, would I

choose to be able to see what’s coming?’ and I truly believe we are made from our successes and

our challenges, from adapting and overcoming. The concept of ‘Avenoir’ challenges all of us to live in

the present, serving as a constant reminder that it is the surprises in life and the not knowing that

makes life terrifying, but truly magical.
