Luke Sital-Singh Announces Headline European Tour 2025; Channels ‘Sad ABBA’ In new Single “In Your Eyes” Written With Matt Hales (Aqualung)

Luke Sital-Singh has announced a headline tour around the release of his upcoming album Fool’s Spring, due February 21st, 2025 on Nettwerk. The extensive tour of the UK & Europe includes a show at London’s Omeara on February 18th. Tickets go on sale 10am this Thursday from www.lukesitalsingh.com. 

Alongside the tour news, Luke has released new track “In Your Eyes”, co-written with long-term collaborator Matt Hales (aka Aqualung). “The idea with this track was: let’s write a sad Abba song,” comments Luke of the subtly ambitious track. “I always want to feel like I’m pushing myself when I’m writing.”

Fool’s Spring is Sital-Singh’s fifth album and his first to be self-produced album and is the beloved British musician’s  most musically eclectic collection to date. The songs take listeners through Luke’s difficult personal journey over the past few years, punctuated with high highs and lower lows. The album title is a nod to this rollercoaster – the tease of impending spring, of hope, only for winter to return again. “The poetry of thinking a dark time is over, only for it to return,” says Sital-Singh, “is something that resonates with the theme of the new album.”

The album was introduced with a rollicking soft-rock anthem called “Hold The Lightning,” which he co-wrote with rising songwriter/producer Jack Hardman and has called “the anchor song of the album.” He followed that with the warm, embracing “Firefight”, the adventurous “Saint & Thief., and the image-rich ballad  “Santa Fe”,  a duet with Irish musician Lisa Hannigan.

Fool’s Spring was written as Sital-Singh realized that his time in the western U.S., where he and his wife had spent the better part of 5 years, was coming to an end, and they would have to make the move back to the UK to continue their journey towards expanding their family. “This album was written in the hardest season of my life, as my wife and I struggled to begin a family. Now, as the album release approaches, my son rests in my arms. I feel the weight of how life has shifted—these songs, written before everything changed, now ring out in a new world..”
These new songs follow Sital-Singh’s acclaimed 2022 album Dressing Like A Stranger, an eleven-song collection penned by the London-born songwriter as he moved halfway across the globe to Los Angeles just before the world shut down. Throughout the album (his Nettwerk debut), Luke takes stock of newfound change on many fronts: distance from loved ones (“Rather Be” – a stunning duet with multi-platinum star Christina Perri), the complexities of belief (“Me & God” – named a Best Song Of The Week selection by WNYC upon its release) and, most importantly, his quest to find optimism even on the darkest of days (“Summer Somewhere”). The album has over 10 million Spotify streams and received praise from NPR Music, Forbes, No Depression, Under The Radar, WNYC and more. He then released the gorgeous and sparse Strange Weather EP (2023), which Glide described as “sweet, simple, and focused on honoring the song,” and American Pancake called “pure beauty.”
