Calby is back with ‘Deeper Love’, the new single and next step toward his forthcoming third album. The Copenhagen-based artist builds the track around cinematic strings layered over an organic beat, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. It showcases some of his most sensual and emotionally direct writing yet, and it arrives from a songwriter whose trajectory has been anything but conventional. He debuted in 2020 with ‘Burnout’, recorded on an eight-track tape recorder, and followed it in 2023 with ‘Inner Critic’s Choice Awards’, a sophomore record that confirmed a fearless instinct for evolution. A worldwide deal with a U.S. major label fell apart during COVID-19, and Calby kept moving forward regardless.
‘Deeper Love’ is a declaration, plainly stated and fully committed. “It’s my tribute to everything we share,” Calby says. “It’s about what we’ve been through together, how I can see myself in her scars, and how she carries them more gracefully than I ever could. It’s honest, unfiltered, and without reservation.” That directness is exactly what has made him one of Denmark’s most acclaimed new voices in soul and R&B, a roots-inspired artist with a genuinely soulful instrument at the center of everything he does. The third album is taking shape, and ‘Deeper Love’ makes a strong case for where it’s headed.
