You can call this a soul-stirring reflection on love, memory, and the freedom to evolve. The multi-platinum UK singer-songwriter Calum Scott unveils his long-awaited third studio album Avenoir. Across fourteen tracks, Scott explores love, loss, and the desire to understand life in reverse, blending his signature heartache-driven vocals with an expanded palette of sound that ventures into funk, country, and cinematic pop. Inspired by John Koenig’s Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, the album’s title defines “Avenoir” as “the desire that memory could flow backward.” Known for his timeless ballads and soaring emotional depth, for Calum, it’s both a concept and a confession. He explains:
‘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. These songs speak to regret and sorrow, but also to undying love — a plea to live life to its fullest.
That theme pulses through Unsteady, a guitar-laced anthem of imperfection and self-acceptance. The track radiates the kind of cathartic truth that defines Scott’s evolution — tender yet resilient, grounded in emotional authenticity. Produced alongside longtime collaborator Jon “MAGS” Maguire and the duo The Nocturns, "Avenoir" marks a turning point for Scott, both musically and personally. Freedom reverberates across the record, from the gospel-tinged Die For You and the stripped vulnerability of Mad to the genre-bending Peripheral Vision and dance-floor shimmer of Roots. "Avenoir" arrives as Scott prepares for his expansive global headline tour, which will span 48 cities across Europe, South Africa, Asia, North America, and the UK.
