Soul-Pop Rising Star, Calum Agnew Unveils Powerful New Single

Music Review | 10th March, 2025 Calum Agnew

Fresh off his triumph as the recipient of the prestigious A New Local Hero Award 2024, Dublin based singer-songwriter, Calum Agnew, injects further momentum into his soaring trajectory as one to watch in 2025 with the startlingly powerful new single Anymore.

Backed by his incredible seven-piece band and backing singers, Anymore, is bursting with self-determination, musically and conceptually. It highlights the unique genius of Calum Agnew as a performer, vocalist and songwriter, announcing the arrival of an artist of immense global potential.

Lyrically Anymore encapsulates the feeling of finally breaking free from the shackles of an uncontrollable and obsessive desire for another person.

The song is inspired by a previous love interest I had. It was complicated, but I think most people will agree that love is quite complicated. You've got to know when to let go. When I did, it was freeing. I had my life back again. I guess after some time had passed, I was still angry at myself for wasting so many months being fixated on this fantasy of a life with someone else, rather than living my own.

Writing - Anymore - was my way of expressing that anger. It was a final goodbye and a definite throwing away of that key - Callum Agnew

Fans can expect big things from Calum Agnew in the coming year. With his unwavering passion and irresistible talent, the sky's the limit for this Dublin-based sensation with a team of exceptional artists from BIMM backing him on stage to create one of the most powerful live shows you can experience.

The Dublin-based artist had his first sold-out headline show in the Beehive Bow in London 2021, and since then has performed in numerous major venues across the country including the Whelan's 'Ones to Watch Festival', Electric Picnic, a sold-out Workman's Cellar show in January, his headline show in Whelan's Main Room on March 5th of this year – and being crowned the Hot Press/IBI A New Local Hero Award winner on October 15th 2024 in the Academy, Dublin.

From supporting Róisín O on her Irish tour in Opium on November 8th to opening for Tolü Makay at her MCD Whelan's headline show on November 21st, Agnew is on a serious upward trajectory, with plans to release his debut EP in the early months of 2025.
