Sam fender - People Watching (2025)
"People Watching" sees Sam Fender expanding his sound while staying true to his working-class storytelling roots. Produced by Markus Dravs and Adam Granduciel, the album blends grandiose, Springsteen-esque arrangements with intimate, introspective songwriting. Tracks like "Chin Up" and "Crumbling Empire" explore themes of fame, isolation, and resilience, while "TV Dinner" and "Remember My Name" offer more stripped-back, poignant moments. While some critics argue that the large-scale production at times overshadows Fender’s raw storytelling, People Watching ultimately solidifies his place as one of the UK’s most compelling modern songwriters.
