To celebrate Pride Month across the globe kicking off, today Calum has released new single Boys In The Street. Calum’s addition to the show firms up what will be the party of the year when the nation’s TV industry come together to celebrate the most popular and outstanding shows and personalities on Australian TV.
The new track is featured on Calum’s upcoming sophomore album Bridges set for release on June 17. The album features the previously released singles “If You Ever Change Your Mind” (a bittersweet but empowered piece produced by Greg Kurstin, an eight-time Grammy Award® winner known for his work with Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Adele), “Rise” (a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst), and “Biblical” (a heart-on-sleeve ballad Calum later followed with an American Sign Language version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre). His track with Lost Frequencies “Where Are You Now”, peaked at #5 on the ARIA Singles Chart and had multiple weeks as #1 Most Played on Australian radio. Fresh off his recent run as support for Irish rock band The Script, the album will bring Scott back to Australia this November for his own headline tour. Calum’s 2018 full-length debut Only Human hit No. 1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe and sold more than 4.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnered over 10 billion combined streams.

Why?
The logies haven’t evolved since the 1970’s variety show model of having a musical guest.
No other awards show has an unrelated to the night / event music performance. The Logies are really is nothing more than a televised corporate event held at one of the hundred nondescript function venues around the country.
Going by ratings of awards shows in other countries, I hope Nine are banking on winning the night
No international Logies guest will ever surpass Joan Rivers and her “I know you’re all famous, but I’ve never *expletive * heard of any of you”. May she RIP
For those unaware, ‘Dancing On My Own’ is – you guessed it – a cover version. Swedish singer Robyn sang – and importantly – co-wrote the original version.
I think almost every gay person is aware of Robyn’s anthem hehe
I will take your word for it and did not know this.
“…it’s only fitting that we raise the roof on Australian TV’s night of nights…” by flying in someone from overseas.
Australian talent should be highlighted, including musical guests. Our local arts sectors needs a boost
I agree Benji. No disrespect to Callum or other international artists, but it is prevalent in our industry to try and attract viewers by featuring international celebrities. Some examples include Master Chef, Celebrity (sic) Big Brother and other award presentation events.
Australian talent should be accepted as worthy to attract viewers, showcase the depth of talent and support our artists whether they be actors, musicians, or dancers.
