Sam Fender has emerged as an unlikely yet inevitably successful artist over the past five years, with his music characterized by an epic portrayal of working-class struggles. Dubbed the Geordie Springsteen, his songs resonate deeply, exemplified by the anthem "Seventeen Going Under." With the release of his latest album, People Watching, Fender collaborates with renowned producers to enhance his sound. The album juxtaposes the personal and expansive, with tracks that reflect on societal conditions while incorporating a lush mix of strings and backing vocals, a testament to his growing fame and artistry.
"Fender’s penchant for giving the indignities of working-class life in the UK an epic scale led the press to dub him the Geordie Springsteen."
"While the title track of Fender’s first album imagined an apocalyptic war, People Watching depicts a more realistic slow collapse where everyone struggles to make ends meet."
"The final product sounds even loftier than its predecessors, with production sized to fit his increased fame, featuring strings and backing vocals from notable musicians."
"To make everything sound as massive as possible, the team obscures some of Fender’s more pointed moments, especially on the title track."
