Capaldi also touched on his hiatus to focus on his mental health. He wrote on X/Twitter, “As most of you will know, I’m currently taking some time off to focus on my health and wellbeing and it’s been going great! I’ve been working with some incredible professionals to help me learn about and cope better with my Tourette’s and anxiety issues. I’m really happy to say I’ve noticed a marked improvement in both since I decided to take some time off back in June.” Check out the full post here.

Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent sees the Scottish singer-songwriter double down on the raw emotional honesty and powerful vocal work of its predecessor. He worked on the sophomore effort with super-producer Max Martin, Grammy-winning producer/songwriter Malay, and longtime collaborators like producer/songwriter Phil Plested.

Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent features the chart-topping singles “Forget Me,” “Pointless,” and “Wish You The Best.” The latter became the artist’s fifth consecutive No.1 single in the UK.

Capaldi’s second record earned early praise from critics, with The New York Times describing “Wish You The Best” as “the logical inheritor of ‘Someone You Loved’ — cataclysmically depressing, but somehow triumphant and engineered for universal acclamation,” adding that the singer has “a scorched cannon of a voice, and it’s best deployed on songs about anguish. To date, his career has lurched forward one vocal bloodletting at a time.”

Elsewhere, The Line Of Best Fit assessed: “Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent is a triumphant return from Capaldi […] There’s a confidence, even if feigned, that sets this version of Capaldi apart from 2019’s; the heavier pop presence also injects his tunes with renewed energy.”
