\n\tSam Fender<\/a> has announced his new album, People Watching<\/em>, alongside confirming details of its eponymous lead single, which will land Friday (Nov. 15).<\/p>\n

\n\tArriving on Feb. 21, 2025, via Polydor Records, the Newcastle songwriter\u2019s third LP was partially recorded in London with producer Markus Dravs,\u00a0then L.A. with Adam Granduciel of Philadelphia rockers The War on Drugs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tIt will follow the hugely successful Seventeen Going Under<\/em>, which topped the U.K.\u2019s Official Albums Chart<\/a> upon release in October 2021 and saw Fender headline London\u2019s 40,000-capacity Finsbury Park the following summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tTo coincide with the news, the 30-year-old has shared that the title track is about \u201csomebody that was like a surrogate mother to me and passed away last November.\u201d In a lengthy Nov. 7 Instagram post<\/a>, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s kind of ironic because she was the one that gave me the confidence to go on stage\u2026 now an entire song (and album) connects to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSharing the artwork, he added: \u201cMe and the band have picked away at these songs for the last couple of years, we recorded so much material in that time and deliberated long and hard over what came next. We settled on this collection for our next outing. Special thanks to Dean and Joe who have been with me every step of the way, they are incredible producers in their own right and I\u2019m eternally proud and grateful for them both. The band has really evolved in this time, I\u2019m a lucky f\u2013ker to be surrounded by such a talented bunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
