What has Calum said about his album?

Taking to Instagram to celebrate the release of the album, Calum shared a heartfelt statement: 'With all of my heart, thank you so much for all the love and the messages I have received since my new album ‘Avenoir’ dropped! This album was my favourite to make and I am unbelievably proud to have let it fly the nest to now become yours.

'All of your kind words really mean everything to me, I was super emotional all day because of how grateful I am to do what I do and to make music for the best fans in the world. X'.

On his official website, a description of the album reads: '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.'

Speaking to Hits Radio, before the album's release, Calum said: "My first album ('Only Human') I was just like 'I can’t believe I get to do this'! I’ve gone from working at Hull City Council, literally talking about Sandra and her off street parking, to touring the world.

"Album two ('Bridges') was more mature, talked about some mental health issues and stuff and then this album I think I’ve spread my wings a bit, it’s a new era," he added.

Will he be going on tour?

Yes. Calum will take his 'Avenoir Tour' across Europe and North America, starting in October 2025. The tour will include concerts in the UK and Ireland, with Calum heading to London, Manchester and Dublin in November. You can see the full list of dates on Calum's website.
