Also in Sam Fender news, the young star recently shared his cover of Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’, which is available now via Polydor/Interscope Records. The track was initially recorded live on Radio 1 earlier this year as part of their ‘Live Lounge’ series, and that very live recording now finds its release after much fan persistence on social media.
Fender said: “‘Back To Black’ is such a long-standing favourite of mine, and Amy remains a national treasure. I love that album too; I hopefully did the track some justice. You’ll all be the judge of that.”
Amy Winehouse’s original version of ‘Back to Black’ received universal acclaim by music critics, who generally praised its throwback sound to girl groups from the 1960s. It was included on several compiled year and decade-end lists of the best in music and was further considered to be one of Winehouse’s signature songs. The single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom and is the late star’s third best-selling single in Britain.
Sam Fender recently announced a series of rescheduled tour dates for all his shows affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The Newcastle musician was due to play a handful of dates in the UK in March, including two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace and a night at Newcastle Arena.
