Sam Fender Shares Video For “People Watching”
Today, Sam Fender shares the stunning video to the title-track from his forthcoming third album, People Watching. The new record is set for release on February 21st via Capitol Records.
The video features the globally acclaimed, BAFTA, and Laurence Olivier Award winning Irish actor, Andrew Scott. Scott is known for his award-nominated performances in the likes of the BAFTA-nominated film, All of Us Strangers; the Emmy-nominated Netflix limited series Ripley; and the stunning West End production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” in which he brought eight characters to life. Upcoming, he will star in the newest Knives Out film: Wake Up Dead Man; and Richard Linklater’s Blue Moon which will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February. The Dublin born actor here puts in a heart-wrenching depiction of love and loss in the official video for Sam’s soaring anthem.
Of the video, Andrew Scott states, “Sam’s masterpiece of a song has become a true friend to me. Working on it was truly cathartic, and I’ll always be grateful to Sam for his extraordinary talent, and for the other artists who made this film, and of course to my mum, who I will hold in my heart til the day I die.”
Speaking of Scott’s role in the video, Sam Fender explains, “I’m really excited for the ‘People Watching’ video to be out in the world this week. I was so buzzing when I found out Andrew wanted to be involved – I’m a huge fan of his and he was absolutely perfect for the role.”
