The Scottish singer-songwriter, who released his debut album ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent’ in May, has enjoyed enormous success throughout 2019 – most recently bagging his first number one single in the US with ‘Someone You Loved’.

Capaldi has now reflected on his whirlwind year with what he’s called his “most personal” offering to date. ‘Before You Go’ arrived at 5 pm today (November 19) and is set to feature on an extended edition of the singer’s first album, out this Friday (November 22).

Revealing the inspiration behind the track ahead of its release, Capaldi wrote on Twitter: “The past year has been absolutely wild, didn’t in a million years think all of this stuff would happen to me.

“Less than two years ago I was lucky enough to get to gig in small pubs and bars back home in Scotland and somehow I am writing this with a number one single in America and getting to play to and meet thousands of ya every night all over the world.”

He added that ‘Before You Go’ “is by far the most personal tune [he’s] ever written”.  See that post below.
