Only Human

This review is of the debut album of Calum Scott, Only Human. This album consists of 11 tracks with 8 deluxe tracks. The album opens up with the song “If Our Love Is Wrong”, presenting very vulnerable and personal lyrics. The tone then shifts to be more poppy and energetic with the song “Give Me Something”, consisting of very repetitive melodies that are bound to get stuck in your head. This upbeat tone continues into the next song “Rhythm Inside”, the second single of the record. Many of the songs within this album consist of lyrics that revolve around romantics and affection towards another. However, there are a select few songs that delve deep into Scott’s personal life, such as “Only You”, which talks about a childhood friend who helped him through tough times while being bullied. The album closes with an acoustic cover of Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet”. Within this song, he had altered the song to fit his style, making himself the focal point of the song, unlike the original. This album is relatively good as a debut album for the singer. Scott’s voice is definitely very unique and allows him to drive his fame.
