Sam Fender is pleased to share his first new music from his forthcoming third album, “People Watching”, released on 21st February 2025 via Polydor Records.
To introduce the new record, Fender shares its title track with all the hallmarks of a true anthem. It’s the sound of an artist landing squarely on what makes music so joyous and emotionally resonant. It was produced in Los Angeles alongside The War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel.
The song was written for his late friend and mentor, Annie Orwin, and is based on Sam’s thoughts as he travelled to and from her palliative care home.
Listen to the new single, People Watching HERE
People Watching is undeniable. A song with heart, soul, and a euphoria of feeling penned by a British musician whose observations on life as he experiences them have already taken him to headlining Summer festivals (Reading andamp; Leeds, Boardmasters), selling out stadiums, and becoming a bonafide household name. With the instant sell-out of his UK arena tour next month (140,000+ tickets), Sam takes another mighty leap forward into whatever comes next.
The CD single will feature an exclusive bonus track, Me andamp; The Dog, whilst a 7” includes another exclusive bonus track, Tyrants. Both are available to purchase HERE
