Calum Scott is back with a track destined to become a fixture of life’s most emotional moments. “God Knows,” the first single from his forthcoming album “Avenoir,” is a breathtaking journey through love, loss, and the unuttered bonds that shape our most profound experiences. This new track, out before the entire album’s release on September 12th via EMI, is a raw, romantic homage to the power of the human spirit.
With “God Knows,” Scott demonstrates the rare gift that has turned him into a household name around the globe. Famed for rendering his agony and ecstasy into finely wrought anthems, the British singer-songwriter places his booming yet cathartic vocals at the front of the mix, a decision sure to make listeners swoon. The song’s epic romantic narrative is made to hit home for anyone who has weathered the peaks and valleys of dating.
The first part shows this track will become an anthem for life’s most significant milestones. Whether in the joy of a wedding, the heartbreak of a breakup, or the solace we turn to in troubling times, “God Knows” will be there. Fans have long turned to Calum Scott’s music for ease of access in some of life’s most challenging moments, and this new song adds to the tradition with its blend of catharsis and celebration.
As with every song on “Avenoir,” Scott’s voice is the focal point of “God Knows.” His confidence makes this much more believable, and the emotional heaviness of the song hits harder. His folksy falsetto and earnest delivery make the track feel intimate, and you can’t help but feel part of the story he’s telling. It’s a sign of his evolution as an artist, more assured, audacious, and willing than ever to open up in his music.
In a world where music accompanies many of our most seminal moments, “God Knows” will surely be a central figure. While we wait for “Avenoir” to arrive in September, this single signals what could be a transformative album from one of pop’s most vulnerable and most beloved voices.
