Lewis Capaldi: Writing With Matty Healy, Mental Health & Tour | Apple Music

Ahead of the release of his sophomore album 'Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent', Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi sits down with Zane Lowe for an intimate conversation about mental health, songwriting, and dealing with anxiety.
Lewis Capaldi talks about what makes him happy, writing from a perspective focused on pure emotion, and the anxieties that sometimes consume his creative process. Lewis shares that he’s been writing with Matty Healy of The 1975 for his upcoming album, sharing that he first heard a demo of “Looking For Somebody (To Love)”, and ended up creating a song together that's completely outside of Lewis's typical style. He shares the story behind his favorite song on the record called "How I'm Feeling Now" and his harsh reality of life in the spotlight.

Matty Healy truly is the best in the business right now. It’s funny when you hear other artists talk about him, everyone holds him in such high praise, a genius for sure.

[@connorsweeney3858]

Definitely underrated lyricist

[@zoe17250]

matty scares me 😭

[@ohwelljamie]

please see a doctor

[@mar4707]

He's a dead good lyricist but good god his stage presence is annoying

[@callumaird6393]

@@ohwelljamie Who’s better?

[@Joelyne37]

I absolutely loved hearing Lewis talk about Matty, as one fan to another. Cuz he totally gets it, he totally gets who Matty is in a world where a lot of ppl are hating on him cuz they just don't get who he is. And it's always so great to hear other musician's thoughts on Matty and the band

[@darylluytico6032]

we need a video of both lewis and matty in the same room

[@marciaaudreybaker]

I love Lewis Capaldi sure wish he got to actually talk more in this interview.

[@weddinginvitationsdurban]

Just love listening to the tone of Lewis' speaking voice. Such a lovely voice.

[@kellycrews6482]

Lewis Capaldi has to be the most impressive, honest person I have ever seen interviewed. He even talking makes me feel like watching Bob Ross, as far as artist. Although Lewis is more impressive at his art

[@toomanythings]

It's only now, on the eve of Lewis' Netflix special, and after listening to "How I'm Feeling Now", that I can really appreciate this interview. "We hold you there", along with hearing Lewis say that this isn't a full time doom and gloom pronouncement on his life and career, makes total sense and is pretty reassuring. What a prequel to what's now and what's about to happen. Thanks, Zane. (kind of scared to watch the Netflix show because wow, triggering? Scary thought since yeah, we all suffer, and I don't need to sink any further into that pit, but god, you just have to love this guy, it's impossible not to. You really got it right, Z, thanks again)

I loved listening to Lewis Capaldi on this interview. I’ve listened to hours & hours of his interviews over the last 4 years, this is my favorite. Great job! Thank you!

[@triciareed1576]

Could have been a great interview if Lewis got to speak.He’s the guest!!

[@YellinHelenP]

omg! I feel the same way. He drove me nuts with all his directing the spotlight on himself and giving all this "sage insight and advice". That was crazy making for me.

[@anamoreno5557]

I just watched his Hozier interview and he does the same 🤣 I understand it's a conversation but a lot of times the guest is speaking and building an idea or sentence and he cuts then off and introduces something about himself, always trying to draw back the attention to himself without circling back to what the guest was sharing, I wonder if he realizes he does this T_T

[@mrSam3ooo]

dunno about intimate conversation when there's four random dudes standing in the bg the whole time

[@mariapaulastepanian9930]

Why does the interviewer talks more than Lewis??? Badly done!

[@HGH44309]

What are all those people doing there in the room?

[@tazevedo03]

Zane is great! Love the guy! Would love to have his job!

zane brings out the best in all the people he interviews...it truly is a gift he's developed over the year. Capaldi is great as well

[@mauralyons2713]

Too much talking from the DJ not enough of Lewis

[@paularoberts2678]

Thank you, I felt that too. Maybe it was nervous energy because Lewis was sitting directly in front of him.. but I felt like he was a bit annoying.. lol

nah no way. zane lowe is the best in the business.

Is it just me or is it awkward with the randomers at the back? Good interview though!

I really would prefer it if Zane talked a lot less 😖😖

[@RiceyBhoy89]

I thought the conversation flowed perfectly fine,great interview.

[@chomskybhoy]

He was ridiculous in this interview. Lewis was on great form too but was habitually interrupted by Lowe. Annoying. Obviously fancies himself as some some of psychological guru but it’s mainly claptrap

[@tazevedo03]

Zane is great! There’s no par! Love the guy - he creates the environment, he opens it so the artists express themselves. He’s the man!

[@fannypliers3716]

I always saw it as Lowe wanting to create the atmosphere of a conversation much rather than an interview. Not everyone likes this style, but I think it creates a nice environment.

[@lindalorz1440]

Omg me too…

[@jenniferbillings9825]

That guy needs to let Lewis finish what he is saying and what he's trying to express.. that guy needs to frigging shut up...its a Lewis interview...not that guy...

After watching Sam smiths interview this is good but disappointing , the interview being 1to1 allows there to be a connection and get deep in conversation rather than having the "lads" round , like is there really a need to have another 4 people in the shot

[@LiveMusic1st]

I really don’t like this interviewer, he needs to listen more. He really is pretentious.

[@YellinHelenP]

Zane! Why didn't you llet him talk!! Crikey! You did not do this dance well at all. Lewis is amazing to listen to! Why did you take that away from him and us? You interrupted him constantly and your interjection and sage advice? please.

[@Kiddowesth]

Jesus, the host is a pain to listen to.

[@jondoe769]

Why in Matty kissing the fans on stage?

'cause that's just what matty does he be like that sometimes

Zane Lowe's sycophantic, pretentious and overcompensating energy is cringeworthy.

[@johncubberley1943]

He's ridiculous bro I don't like him

[@theforeverstory482]

The harsh truth buddy, but its still entertaining in sum way

[@decoyslois]

I wish he would just talk like 20% less. And just listen to what the other guy is saying
