Calum Foad is a 23-year-old from Reading who has been singing and playing guitar for almost a dozen years now. His ambition is a palpable, even unusual thing - a singer-songwriter with an entrepreneurial determination Ed Sheeran would admire – Calum is back with the catchiest pop tune for you this summer.

Confidence bolstered, he then reached out to another major influence, US producer Marc McCluskey (Bad Religion, Weezer), who, like Dan Weller before him, was so taken by what he heard that he promptly invited Calum to New York to collaborate. Needless to say, Calum didn’t need to be asked twice. The first results of this collaboration are You & I and the highly anticipated new single - Rollercoaster.

After the roaring success of the previous single in 2017, Calum is back with a sharp, smart, memorable pop song that boasts the elastic pep and zest of The 1975 with the brooding self-reflection of Lorde. It is the potent lyrical vulnerability, combined with such effortless melodic buoyancy, that gives the songs genuine three-dimensional appeal.

Calum - who, it is probably worth pointing out, is easy on the eye and sports a pair of Clark Kent-esque glasses that will soon identify him the way James Bay’s hat identifies him - is back to the US imminently, to collaborate more with Marc McCluskey alongside an array of songwriting and producing talent. He is excited to develop his craft as he works towards his debut album. Don’t miss it.
