Bridges is the second studio album by English singer-songwriter Calum Scott, released on 17 June 2022 through Capitol Records. [4] It was preceded by five singles—"Biblical", "Rise", "If You Ever Change Your Mind", "Heaven", [5] and "Boys in the Street". [6] Scott embarked on an ongoing world tour in support of the album, beginning in North America in July 2022. [7]
The tracks have themes of resilience, with Scott saying that he wrote "Rise" during COVID-19 lockdowns when he was "really down on [him]self", [8] as well as the power of love, with Scott explaining that "Biblical" is about "love of biblical proportions that transcends everyone and everything", [9] with "Heaven" following a similar theme of "the love between two people being so powerful that it is far superior to anything else". [5] While "If You Ever Change Your Mind" was written "about the pain of heartbreak and lost love", it also has "undertones of hopefulness throughout". [10]
The lead single, "Biblical", was released on 10 June 2021, [9] with second single "Rise" following on 1 October 2021. [11] Third single "If You Ever Change Your Mind" was issued on 4 February 2022. [12] The fourth single, "Heaven", was released alongside the album announcement on 29 April 2022. [13] On 1 June 2022, Scott released the fifth single, which is his rendition of Greg Holden's "Boys in the Street". [6]
On 24 June 2022, Bridges debuted at number 48 on the UK Albums Chart, with 2,158 sales. [14] On 28 July 2022, Rise was played to welcome the delegations from the Crown Dependencies to the opening ceremony of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
