Britain’s Got Talent Finalist brings his Talent to South Africa.
Platinum selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott has announced the South African dates for his Only Human Tour, performing live in Cape Town on November 10th and Johannesburg on November 11th.
Scott’s heart-warming appearance on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015 shot him to instant global stardom, and when he officially released his audition song Dancing On My Own as the lead single from his debut album Only Human, it took the world by storm. Dancing On My Own quickly charted in over 34 countries on Spotify, peaking at No. 1 on the Viral chart in six, including the U.S. Now certified Platinum in four countries. With six Gold in South Africa, it was the best-selling U.K. single of 2016 by a British solo artist and was nominated for a Brit Award for Best Single. The song has over 550 million streams worldwide, while views of the video are approaching 225 million.
Only Human is the result of a long, cathartic song writing journey. The album has already gone Gold in South Africa, with single You Are The Reason reaching five times gold in SA. Filled with deeply personal material, Scott’s ability to transform pain into beauty is undeniable, whether he is addressing coming out to his father, unrequited longing, adolescent isolation, or the gratitude he feels toward his sister Jade, who pushed him to sing on stage for the first time and auditioned alongside him on Britain’s Got Talent.
Scott’s elegantly sculpted pop centres on his soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, exemplified in gently uplifting single You Are The Reason, aching piano ballad Hotel Room and hit single Rhythm Inside. The singer’s ability to consistently build on his gift for poignant, emotionally charged performances is a sure sign of the lasting impact the Englishman will continue to have on all who hear his voice. To experience it in the flesh is omissible.
Tickets go on sale at 10am on Wednesday 25 July through Nutickets, so be sure to get yours to see the talented Calum Scott live for the first time in South Africa.
