The Wave is the debut solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter Tom Chaplin.

I set about writing an album that documents my transition from the darkest recesses of human experience to a place of resolution, fulfillment and happiness.

At long last I am comfortable in my own skin and have achieved that elusive dream of writing a set of songs I can truly call my own.

[10] These shows were followed in 2017 by the Carried By The Wave Tour, which visited the US and Canada and venues throughout western Europe before returning to the UK.

[13] Chaplin was supported on the UK leg of the tour by Australian singer-songwriter Ainslie Wills.
