Sam Fender Releases New Single 'Arm's Length' From Forthcoming Album
Listen to the third single from Sam Fender's album.
Sam Fender has shared a new single from his forthcoming third album, People Watching available via Capitol Records. Describing the new single Sam explains that “Arm’s Length” “originally came from one of those magic moments where you’re just messing around, and a song literally falls out of the sky. It’s about being avoidant and flighty. But also, just a simple pop song, which I love.”
“Arm’s Length” is the third track to be lifted from People Watching, following the release of its anthemic title-track and the reflective, “Wild Long Lie.” The song, with its widescreen cinematic atmospherics, received a huge reaction from Sam’s fans on his 2024 sold-out UK/Ireland arena tour.
Now solidified as one of Britain’s most accomplished songwriters of his generation and the next, if Seventeen Going Under was Sam’s “coming of age” record, People Watching is his next step forward - colorful stories and observations of everyday characters living their everyday, but often extraordinary, lives.
Sam gears up for a sold-out tour of Europe in March, ahead of a Spring US tour. Back in the UK, stadium dates went on sale for June, with three nights at Newcastle’s St. James Park selling out immediately. Fender’s biggest show to date at the London Stadium is down to its final tickets - on sale now via www.samfender.com. CMAT supports at all four shows, and The War on Drugs will play on June 6th and 14th + 15th. £1 from every ticket sold on the Stadium run will be donated to select cultural organizations such as Youth Music and Sunday for Sammy to support the arts in the North East of England.
