Sam Fender returned in 2025 with his highly anticipated third studio album, People Watching, released on Polydor Records. Written and recorded over two years between London, Los Angeles, and the outskirts of Paris, the record captures both the grit of his roots and the widescreen sweep of his global rise.
 
Co-produced with Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs and Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay), People Watching sees Fender expanding his sound into richer, more cinematic territory while retaining the raw honesty and social detail that have defined his songwriting. The result is an album that balances intimacy with scale — a bold next chapter for one of the UK’s most vital voices.
