Lewis Capaldi has spoken about the influence that his friendships with Sam Fender and Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten have had on his recent approach to music and songwriting. In an interview with Billboard, the Scottish singer explained that both artists have inspired him to become more thoughtful and ambitious in the studio, particularly regarding the meaning of his lyrics and the overall sound of his music. Capaldi said the pair treat music as an art form and care deeply about every release, which motivated him to spend more time refining his own work. The three musicians reportedly live near each other in north London and regularly exchange music recommendations. Among the artists they have discussed are Bleech 9:3, Aaron Rowe and Jacob Alon. Capaldi also recalled attending the 2025 Mercury Prize ceremony, where both Fender and Chatten were nominated, with Fender eventually winning for his album ‘People Watching’. The experience encouraged Capaldi to experiment more creatively with his own material. The article also highlights the trio’s close friendship, including holidays together in Ireland, where they jokingly referred to themselves as “The Syndicate”. Beyond discussing his friendships, the report covers Capaldi’s recent career resurgence following his break from live performances caused by Tourette’s-related tics. Since returning, he has released the EP ‘Survive’, performed surprise shows, appeared at Glastonbury, and announced several major festival and headline performances for summer 2026, including BST Hyde Park, Roundhay Festival, Liverpool, Newcastle and Sziget Festival.

Chaos For The Fly is the debut solo album from Grian Chatten, vocalist of Dublin’s critically-acclaimed band Fontaines D.C.
