Bess Atwell unveils new single 'Fan Favourite'

With her eagerly-awaited new album landing in the coming months, Bess Atwell has now dropped the next cut to be lifted from her forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'Fan Favourite' comes accompanied by a stunning self-directed video, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'Release Myself' in previewing her new LP 'Light Sleeper', which is out on the 24th May via Real Kind Records.

Speaking about the new offering, she said, “I wrote Fan Favourite after watching some behind the scenes footage from a popular TV show. Not even a die-hard fan of the show myself - I can’t remember what it was now - I found myself emotional watching the cast’s wrap party. I felt jealous of the sense of community and opportunity to reflect on shared experiences and history. I pictured my own family’s “wrap party” and what that would look like. The sadness, humour, disappointment and joy that would come with acknowledging the huge shared experience we’ve had in this life. The song also touches on the passing of time, a sense of dissociation, and feeling as though you’ve missed out on life despite still living it.

“Fan Favourite is an attempt at a self-wake-up call so I wanted the production to sparkle, breathe and feel alive, the instrumentation a reminder that life is indeed still there to be lived.”
