If it's not broken, why try and fix it? This is the overriding sentiment one is struck with while listening to Lewis Capaldi's sophomore album, 2023's yearningly romantic Broken by Desire to Be Heavenly Sent. The follow-up to his commercially successful debut, 2019's Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, Broken by Desire is full of the same kind of emotive, piano-driven balladry that helped make previous singles like "Someone You Loved" and "Before You Go" memorably chart-topping U.K. hits. Working with the same cadre of trusted songwriter/producers, including TMS, Phil Plested, Nick Atkinson, and Edd Holloway, among others, Capaldi brings a similarly earnest, open-hearted approach to his work here. Tracks like "Wishing You the Best," "Pointless," and the unexpectedly clubby "Forget Me" are soundtrack-ready anthems that nicely showcase Capaldi's throaty croon.
