Irish soul-pop sensation Calum Agnew just dropped his debut EP Bad Boy, and honestly? It’s a masterpiece that perfectly captures that messy transition from teenage years into proper adulthood.
The collection builds beautifully on his previous bangers like "LALALA" and "Anymore." But the title track brings this whole new sassy energy that’s absolutely infectious.
Across five deeply personal tracks, Agnew creates this lush soundscape—think rich piano melodies dancing with shimmering guitars. There’s these subtle jazz undertones too, all elevated by his seven-piece band and those gorgeous backing vocals that just… chef’s kiss.
It’s a raw journey through desire and self-doubt. Vulnerability at its finest, really. The EP dives deep into Agnew’s personal relationships while somehow managing to speak to literally anyone who hits play.
That gentle melancholy? It hits different.

"It tells a story of unresolved love in all its complexity, emotions I’m still attempting to understand," Agnew explains about the project.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, this artist has been crafting this incredible blend of vintage-flavored soul meets fluorescent, melancholic pop. With each release, Agnew’s proving he’s got serious potential as a vocalist, songwriter, and performer—the whole package, basically.
