Sam Fender is pleased to share “The Borders,” the final song to be dropped ahead of his debut album, Hypersonic Missiles, and arguably his most hard-hitting in a record that's littered with them. As has been well-documented, the UK's Fender writes cannily about what he sees and has seen around him. Rolling Stone recently said “The 25-year-old's uncannily mature songs tackle weighty topics without flinching.” “The Borders,” Sam's personal favorite on the LP, is a chest-punching story that looks a little closer to home. At once deeply personal and traumatic, Sam tells a story of two boys growing up together and then going their separate ways. Memories inferred but not directly addressed. It's a storming tune with a powerful story, as so many of Sam's songs are.
