My Music Monday

I'm still on new music. Sam Fender has a new disk coming out this Friday. The initial single is today's selection, "People Watching".

Fender had a song out with Noah Kahan, but anymore, who hasn't?  And from his last disk, he had a minor-ish radio hit with "Seventeen Going Under".

Oddly, or not, "People Watching" has a similar sound and vibe as "Seventeen".  Actually, more than a vibe - they are eerily similar. But you know, if it works, there are some artists who'll run that sound into the ground. Or perhaps, it's all they got. 

I have zero idea here, as I have not sought out Fender's music, just hear what comes across XM. 

I'm likening it to that 90s vibe when matchbox 20, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Big Head Todd and the Monster, etc all just sounded so much alike sometimes. I think Fender is the 2020's version of that. More than decent, but nothing horribly original or groundbreaking. Still......I leave it on. 


...oh, and the video doesn't even have Fender in it (I don't think), but stars Andrew Scott. Let's face it, that's enough to keep it on for five minutes.
