Lewis Capaldi

I don't think writing open-ended lyrics is necessarily an important part of writing good pop songs.

People like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding - I do not put myself in that category.

I think soul singers are much better singers than I am.

For me, there's bands like Frightened Rabbit and The View, and they've all had that Scottish accent. It's just class to hear it.

For me, getting my personality across is so important in getting that connection for people that enjoy my music.

I wanna be as transparent as possible. I'm not a serious guy.
