Dan Smith of Bastille has reportedly been working with Lewis Capaldi on music for his second album.

It's been well over two years since Capaldi released his huge debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent, and according to The Sun, Capaldi has been busy working on new tunes for his second album with Bastille frontman Dan Smith.

Speaking about working with Capaldi, Smith said, "I did some writing with him and it was really great to see him."

"Obviously he has had the most amazing time and I think he is just taking his time writing lots of music and living his life," Smith continued. "We fucking love Lewis and we’re so proud of everything he’s done all over the world. It’s exciting to see what he’s going to do next."

In January 2021, Lewis Capaldi revealed he was taking a step back from social media to finish his second album, and joked that the album will be "universally panned by critics".
