    Calum Scott Releases New Single, “Boys In The Street”

    By Dom VigilJune 1, 2022
    Calum Scott Boys In The Street

    Calum Scott has shared his new single “Boys in the Street,” an intimate cover of a 2015 track from Scottish artist Greg Holden. The song is accompanied by a poignant black-and-white video, directed by Jackson Ducasse (Ellie Goulding, James Bay). Watch it now below.

    “Boys in the Street” is taken from Calum’s upcoming sophomore album, Bridges, out June 17th. Pre-order the album now HERE.

    A devastating but ultimately life-affirming account of a father’s struggle to accept his openly gay son, “Boys in the Street” centers on a particularly impassioned vocal performance from Calum. In a departure from the acoustic-guitar-driven sound of the original track, Calum’s rendition arrives as an elegant piano ballad graced with lush string work, gradually taking on a tearful intensity as he narrates the father’s journey toward understanding.

    “‘Boys in the Street’ is one of the few songs that has made me cry on the first listen,” says Calum. “I connected to the original version instantly, and had wanted to record my own interpretation for the last few years. When I’d finished my second album, I had the time to craft my own version, and immediately got in touch with Greg to ask for his blessing. I knew it would fit perfectly on Bridges, and in some ways was the song I was missing. I’m honoured to include this powerful and inspiring piece on my sophomore record — I know it’s a song that not only I can relate to, but will resonate with others around the world.”

    Soon after the release of Bridges, Calum will embark on a summer headlining tour of North America. All dates are listed below and tickets can be found at https://www.calumscott.com/.
