Sam Fender Releases New Song “Remember My Name”
British singer-songwriter Sam Fender will released his upcoming third studio album “People Watching” next Friday (February 21st) via Polydor Records.
It marks his first album in four years since the 2021 album “Seventeen Going Under”.
From the album, he released the fourth single called “Remember My Name” on February 14, 2025, following “People Watching”, “Wild Long Lie”, and “Arm's Length”.
The song is dedicated to his late grandparents.
The track features only Sam Fender's vocals and stirring horns from the Easington Colliery Band.
It was written and produced by Sam Fenderw, with production by Markus Dravs.
Sam Fender said of the song, “This one's dedicated to my late grandparents.”- The new album comprises 11 songs, which were recorded with American rock band The War on Drugs' Adam Granduciel as producer in Los Angles.
Sam Fender told Apple Music About the album, “When writing the past two albums I started with a clear goal and concept, but towards the end of recording it always morphed into something else-at least for me it did. I wanted to go in there and write good songs; not think about some grandiose overblown message, just 10/11 good songs about ordinary people.”
He said of working with Adam Granduciel, “I've been a huge fan of The War on Drugs for many years. And I'm gonna ask them. And then we ended up working with him. And I think it was like, I can get away with ripping him off if he's in the room. The ego a little bit, but I mean, he gets it, I mean, and he really, kind of he transforms the album in a way that I really didn't expect.” -
Sam Fender is nominated for British Artist of the Year and Best Alternative/Rock Act at the Brit Awards 2025.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Saturday 1 March 2025 at The O2 Arena in London. - source : Apple Music
