DEBUT SOLO SINGLE ‘DON’T FORGET YOU LOVE ME’ OUT NOW
| Today, acclaimed musician Calum Hood marks the beginning of a long-awaited new era with the announcement of his highly anticipated debut solo album, ORDER chaos ORDER, set for release on June 13th via EMI Music Australia. The first taste of the album comes from Calum’s debut solo single ‘Don’t Forget You Love Me’, a stunning first glimpse into his new sonic direction as a solo artist and the world of ORDER chaos ORDER. Having spent the past 14 years touring the world and releasing music as one fourth of global phenomenon 5 Seconds of Summer, the dazzling and brooding ORDER chaos ORDER sees Hood strike out alone for the first time, and emerge not just as a solo musician, but as the introspective storyteller he was always meant to be. The result of a deeply personal creative journey, the album captures the strength it takes to look inward and to move forwards through pain. Crafted primarily alongside Jackson Phillips, aka Day Wave, with key contributions from David Burris (Lauren Spencer Smith, ITZY) and TMS (Lewis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran), ORDER chaos ORDER is heady, raw, tender indie that is unflinchingly sincere, buoyed by hints of a coiled intensity within – a record that showcases the 29-year-old musician’s mastery of nuance and emotional depth, with melodies that reveal new layers with each listen, deepening further with every play and often leading to moments of quiet revelation. Serving as the album’s emotional cornerstone, ‘Don’t Forget You Love Me’ introduces listeners to the raw honesty and sonic depth that define ORDER chaos ORDER. Written and produced by TMS and Jack LaFrantz (Benson Boone) the track’s haunting beauty and soul-searching lyrics open with a nod at heartbreak, self-worth, and vulnerability. The song’s atmospheric blend of melancholy and luminosity showcases Hood’s ability to merge introspective lyricism with irresistible melodies and marks the emergence of Hood’s sonic identity. The accompanying video for ‘Don’t Forget You Love Me’, directed by Andy DeLuca and produced by Sarah Eiseman, unfolds with a moody, cinematic aesthetic to encapsulate the essence of the track. Watch the video here. Calum explains: “This album was made in a tumble dryer of knowing and not knowing. I started out with a vision—order—but quickly became overwhelmed by the process—chaos. Eventually, I learned to embrace both, and that balance became the heart of the record.” While ORDER chaos ORDER marks a new beginning, it is also a reckoning with Hood’s past. Calum says: “There are things I’ve never been able to sing about in the band—my upbringing, my family, the places life has taken me. This album is about laying those things to rest and allowing listeners to connect in their own way.” ORDER chaos ORDER will be released on June 13th and is available to pre-order here. Calum’s debut solo single ‘Don’t Forget You Love Me’ is out now and available here. ORDER chaos ORDER tracklisting1. Don’t Forget You Love Me2. Call Me When You Know Better3. Sweetdreams4.
