Sam Fender albums in order: Full albums and track lists
The star has just dropped his latest album, which has already been highly praised by critics
Sam Fender has become one of the defining stars of the UK music industry, being compared to the likes of Bruce Springsteen of this generation.
Born and raised in North Shields, Fender has used his working-class background as an influence on his lyrics and musical style, often providing commentary on the state of the UK in the process.
First starting performing in local pubs, Fender is now selling out arenas and making his debut on Glastonbury Festival's Pyramid Stage.
On Friday 21st February, Sam Fender released his third album and the reviews are already in.
Later this year, he is set to headline at Radio One's Big Weekend and will tour the UK and Ireland in June and across the summer.
