Multi = platinum singer – songwriter Calcum Scott shares new single and video ‘If you ever change your mind’

Recently, multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott premiered his emotionally empowered new single and video If You Ever Change Your Mind.A bittersweet but uplifting reflection on a painful relationship, If You Ever Change Your Mind is the third song that Calum has shared from his highly anticipated sophomore album, due out this spring.

Produced by eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Adele), If You Ever Change Your Mind opens on a gorgeously stark vocal performance from Calum, accompanied only by wistful piano work. As the track unfolds and its commanding rhythms kick in, Calum looks back on a broken romance withbothregretand renewed perspective (from the pre-chorus: “I pulled away ’cause the pain's too strong/And you were saying that we don’t belong”). Co-written by Calum, If You Ever Change Your Mind ultimately builds an irresistible tension between his neverending affection and newly heightened sense of self-worth.

Says Calum, “Five years ago, I fell in love so hard that ever since we parted ways, there has been an invisible tether between us, sometimes existing silently, other times pulling on me like a rope attached to my chest.  I got together with Mozella and Hayley Warner in LA to write this one and had the pleasure of working with the legend, Greg Kurstin on track and vocals. I really enjoyed stepping into a new sound with Greg on this song - I feel we struck the balance of lyrics that tell the story of heartbreak and conflict but maintain a hopeful and reminiscent sound that makes this song feel so good”

Directed by Harry Law, the video for If You Ever Change Your Mind beautifully dramatizes the song’snarrative of longing and conflicted emotion. To that end, the visual centers on an estranged couple engaged in an intense push-and-pull — an element perfectly captured in the video’s meditative and endlessly mesmerizing choreography.

If You Ever Change Your Mind arrives on the heels Calum’s recent single Rise  a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst (known for her role on the acclaimed historical drama “Vikings”). Prior to releasing to Rise, Calum offered up the soulful minimalism of Biblical,  a heart-on-sleeve ballad he later followed with an American Sign Language (ASL) version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre.

Along with If You Ever Change Your Mind, both Rise and Biblical will appear on the follow-up to Calum’s 2018 full-length debut ‘Only Human’, a widely acclaimed effort that hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams.

As he gears up for the album’s release, Calum will head out on tour as support for Irish rock band The Script. Kicking off on March 30 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, the 12-date North American run will continue through April 14 at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
