Calum Scott will release his new album ‘Avenoir' on 12th September 2025 and he's giving fans a preview with new single ‘God Knows'.
Available to pre-order now at https://calumscott.lnk.to/avenoir, ‘Avenoir' is Scott's third full-length album and the follow-up to 2022's ‘Bridges‘. You can take a listen to ‘God Knows' below:
‘God Knows' brings Scott's soulful voice to an intimate yet grandiose expression of longing and remorse. “This song came from a pretty rough patch in a relationship and is for anyone out there who has made mistakes, said things in anger or upset, or who has pushed people away,” Scott further explains. “Sometimes we don’t realise what we have until it’s gone. I wrote “God Knows” as an unapologetic and desperate act of love to want to make things right again. When I’m writing songs, I like to take sayings or phrases that we say sometimes without thinking, but that hold so much depth and power so that, in a short few words, people can understand it wholeheartedly. Exploring that in “God Knows” helped remind me just how human we all are.”
‘Avenoir' refers to how we move through life like a rower, always moving forward but facing backwards, seeing where we've been, but not where we're going. On the album, Scott explains, “The songs on this album speak to both regret and sorrow and to 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?’ 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 also truly magical.”
‘Avenoir' is produced by Scott's frequent collaborator Jon ‘MAGS' Maguire & The Nocturns (Jax Jones, Tiësto) and was partly created at Real World Studios, a recording complex founded by the legendary Peter Gabriel in Bath.
Across his career to date, Scott has had hits with his cover of Robyn's ‘Dancing On My Own' and ‘You Are The Reason'. He's also had success with ‘Rise', ‘Biblical' and ‘If You Ever Change Your Mind'.
