As Grammy season heats up, Capaldi's wrenching piano ballad 'Someone You Loved' is the kind of breakthrough hit that could make the singer a household name come January.
Standing onstage recently at the Royale nightclub here, the singer from Glasgow with the rough-edged voice delivered only a few lines of his chart-topping “Someone You Loved” before nearly every member of the capacity crowd took up the song, hungry for the catharsis to be found in bellowing Capaldi’s words about the emotional cost of a loved one’s departure.
“And every night I always look around at that point hoping no one heckles me: ‘You’re doing a good job of it!’” mock-hollered the singer, who looks like a slightly doughier Paul McCartney circa “Rubber Soul.” Dressed in a T-shirt and rumpled windbreaker, he ran a hand through his tousled hair and grinned. “I’m like, I need to get Trippie Redd on this just to spice it up.”
The Recording Academy, which will announce nominations on Nov. 20, has a proven historical weakness for this type of nakedly sentimental material, particularly when it comes from young Brits with show-stopping voices — see Ed Sheeran, Adele and Sam Smith, all of whom have won song of the year with tunes that might have been composed decades ago.
“There’s just not that many people out there who can do that right now,” said Malay, who’s also worked with Smith and Frank Ocean. “She’s one of the only people who could tell me if they felt true or not,” said the singer, who now jokes frequently on social media about his hit-or-miss use of Tinder.Backstage at the Boston show, which Capaldi’s parents had also flown in for, he faced some more fact-checking from his mom regarding his usefulness as anything but a musician.
