Lewis Capaldi is a pop artist with tendencies for a massive sound that will not stay small when he can go big and will not play big when he can go grand. He sings romantic ballads with a flair for dramatic delivery and a powerful voice that always seem to have another gear. He often starts with a wind up on the piano, working his way towards a big burst of the chorus crashing like tidal waves while Capaldi clearly has fun belting it out like his life depends on it. The results are often cathartic and there is no mistaking how much he relishes this form of music or for that matter, how good he is at it. His songs usually deal with sadness, self-doubt, loneliness, and rejection, which not only resonates with his audience, but also provides the lyrical backdrop to his brand of pop.
