Sam Fender has announced his third studio album, People Watching, and shared its title song. The English rock artist co-produced his new song with one of his favorite working artists, the War on Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. Listen to “People Watching” below.
People Watching—the follow-up to 2021’s Seventeen Going Under—is out February 21 via Capitol. Fender worked on his album with longtime friends and collaborators Dean Thompson and Joe Atkinson, along with Granduciel and producer Markus Dravs.
Sam Fender will support his new album with concerts in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, and Canada. See the musician’s tour schedule below.
The War on Drugs recently released the new live album Live Drugs Again. In the spring, it was revealed that Adam Granduciel played electric guitar on Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus’ Cowboy Carter collaboration “II Most Wanted”—a track that was just nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
