Sam Fender will release The deluxe version of People Watching on December 5th via Capitol Records and includes eight new tracks, released on CD and vinyl.In addition to the four tracks that were originally featured on Sam’s limited edition Record Store Day vinyl Me and The Dog EP, the deluxe includes three brand new previously unheard tracks: “Talk To You” (feat. Elton John), “Fortuna’s Wheel,” and “The Treadmill.” The extra recordings also feature “Rein Me In” (with Olivia Dean) for its first physical release.

To coincide with the deluxe announcement, an Elton John collaboration on the brand-new track, “Talk To You” is shared today. The song finds Elton, Sam’s friend and long-term supporter, on piano. It was recorded during the initial People Watching studio sessions with producer Marcus Dravs in London.

Sam on Talk To You: “”Talk To You” was written during the People Watching sessions at British Grove – It’s a song about the end of a long relationship – about the regret, the mistakes and the lessons that come with it. It’s that feeling of losing your best friend and coming to terms with that.

I was playing around with the riff and thought what I need is a really good pianist and then hmmm, I wonder who I can call? And of course, who better than Elton John.”

Elton John on Talk To You: “Sam was writing and recording in a studio in West London and called to say he’d written a song with a piano riff that he thought would sound great with me playing it. I couldn’t resist, and it was so much fun playing it for him. I truly love Sam. He’s been a friend for many, many years and it’s incredible to see him grow into being a truly world class artist.”
