In crazy times of change and political unrest you need music that means something, music that commentates, music that soundtracks the crazy days, and most importantly, music that is bloody brilliant, Sam Fender is this musician.

‘Hypersonic Missiles’ is the debut album by Sam Fender, from North Shields, in the North East of England. There has been immense anticipation for the album since the 25 year old won the Brit Critics’ Choice award in February. Fender has justified this attention.

We have seen music genres and changing times come and go, sometimes it is difficult to predict if an album will make its mark, but there should be no doubting that this album will be an important soundtrack to end the decade and mark the beginning of a new one. Fender’s lyrics commentate on important present day issues, mental health, brexit, modern life, world leaders, but he also has elements of fun. Fender does it all with a sense of power and vibrancy.

Music sound influences range from ‘The War On Drugs’ to Bruce Springsteen. Yet each track on the album has Fender’s stamp of individuality and identity.

Listen, immerse and enjoy.
