Scottish singer Callum Beattie has released a new track from his upcoming album 'Vandals'. The single 'Heart Stops Beating' is the first to come from his second studio album, which is due for release on 28th October.

He took to Instagram to share the exciting news, posting a video of himself singing the song live and writing: 'My new single ‘Heart Stops Beating’ is OUT TODAY. Why not treat yourself and download it on iTunes!'

The video was filmed at TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow on 8th July, where he gave fans a preview of the brand new song, along with singing some of his biggest tracks including fan favourites 'Don't Walk Alone' and 'Salamander Street'.

It's not the only announcement the 'We Are Stars' singer has made about his upcoming album, as he revealed a sweet gesture he was making for his fans. On 20th July, he shared that he was giving fans the chance to have their names printed in the 'Vandals' album booklet.

He wrote on Instagram: 'Well folks, my NEW album VANDALS will be released in autumn.

'As a way of saying thank you to all you lovely people, I want to include as many of your names in my album booklet as I possibly can. All you have to do is comment with your name below, or the name of who you want to be on it.

'Your name will then appear in our special thank you list on the album. Please share this to allow us to connect with as many people as we possibly can

'I’m filled with gratitude for all your support and just want to say thank you in any small way I can, as without you guys, I’m nothing ❤️❤️❤️' (sic)

The post has since had hundreds of comments from fans wanting to be involved and praising the idea. They'll get to see if their name made it onto the album in October, and in the meantime, you can pre-order 'Vandals' now from the official Callum Beattie shop.

As well as getting involved in the album booklet, fans will get the chance to see Callum perform his new songs live on his 'Vandals' tour later this year.

It's no secret that the world is pretty much begging for new RiRi music. Despite Rihanna giving off various hints that her ninth album will be with us very soon, it appears she may have other things on her mind at the minute, as she has become a mum for the first time!


Despite fans thinking this would put a hold on any new music, she did reveal in December 2021 that 'R9' would be with us 'soon, soon, soon' - later joking: "Yes, you're still going to get music from me," adding: "My fans would kill me if they waited this long for a lullaby!" So, we're still holding out hope...

The album is now set to be released in 2022, with Saweetie deciding to reconstruct the songs. We can't wait!
