˜People Watching is set to arrive three years after the release of his second album ˜Seventeen Going Under ˜ “ which took the top spot on NME s Albums Of The Year list in 2021.
So far, Fender has already shared the album s lead single and title track. In a four-star review of the song, NME shared: By sticking to what he s best at, the musician has avoided falling into any such traps “ and ended up with a song grand enough to get a whole stadium going without compromising on the heart and power that we ve come to expect from him. If the rest of ˜People Watching follows suit, Fender s third album should be another world-beater.
He first debuted ˜People Watching live, along with another unreleased song, ˜Nostalgia s Lie in August, with both set to appear on his long-awaited third album. Last week, he revealed details surrounding the record, including its tracklisting. It was produced by Fender alongside his bandmates Dean Thompson, Joe Atkinson, producer Markus Dravs, and The War on Drugs Adam Granduciel.
Fender s last album, ˜Seventeen Going Under , was named Best Album In The World and Best Album By A UK Artist at the BandLab NME Awards 2022. NME gave it four stars, calling it a bruising second album and saying: If ˜Hypersonic Missiles was the sound of a young boy kicking out at the world, ˜Seventeen Going Under sees Fender realise that it can kick back a lot harder, and he counts every blow and bruise. But he seems to have found that time passes and that most wounds “ even the deepest “ will eventually heal, if he can allow them to.
