Sam Fender is pleased to share a new single from his forthcoming third album, People Watching. Arm’s Length is streaming now – listen here.
Describing the new single Sam explains that Arm’s Length, “originally came from one of those magic moments where you’re just messing around, and a song literally falls out of the sky. It’s about being avoidant and flighty. But also, just a simple pop song, which I love”
It’s also a song that received a huge reaction from Sam’s fans on his sold-out UK/Ireland arena tour at the end of 2024, with its Fleetwood Mac inspired riff and widescreen, cinematic atmospherics.
It's the third track to be lifted from People Watching, following the release of its anthemic title-track and the reflective, “Wild Long Lie”.
Now solidified as one of Britain’s most accomplished songwriters of his generation and the next, if Seventeen Going Under was Sam’s “coming of age” record, People Watching is his next step forward - colourful stories and observations of everyday characters living their everyday, but often extraordinary, lives.
Sam gears up for a sold-out tour of Europe in March, ahead of a Spring US tour. Back in the UK, stadium dates went on sale for next June, with three nights at Newcastle’s St. James Park selling out immediately. Fender’s biggest show to date at the London Stadium is down to its final tickets - on sale now via www.samfender.com. CMAT supports at all four shows, and The War on Drugs will play on 6th and 14th + 15th June.
£1 from every ticket sold on the Stadium run will be donated to select cultural organisations such as Youth Music and Sunday for Sammy to support the arts in the North East of England.
