Chet Faker Shares Final Single ‘Over You’ Ahead of Album Release

Chet Faker has released the final taste of his upcoming album, A Love for Strangers, via the new single “Over You”.

Led by the gorgeously rousing singles “Far Side of the Moon” and “This Time for Real”, A Love for Strangers sees Nick Murphy – the ARIA-winning songwriter, musician and producer behind the Chet Faker moniker – come full circle. The album will be out digitally on February 13th and physically on April 24th.

It follows 2021’s Hotel Surrender, is rooted in a sense of personal rediscovery that deepened after the 10-year anniversary of his debut full-length, the sensational and career-ascendant Built on Glass, which featured some of his biggest hits -“Talk is Cheap” and “Gold”.

The latest single, “Over You”, is a mesmeric deep dive into a relationship not fated to last. Faker layers his earnest vocals over an immersive track that transports you to a state of reminiscence. The translucent beat allows for a strong chorus to beam through, mirroring the feeling of getting lost in the memories of somebody; it’s a bittersweet reminder of what once was, knowing that it can’t be again.

‘Over You’ is an electronic pick-up to his previous release, the beautifully sombre “Can You Swim?”, which offered a vulnerable look into Faker’s perspective on love. It is accompanied with a music video – watch it below.

Faker’s taking the album on tour later this year, with shows in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Perth.

Having recently announced a 21-date North American run in April and May, followed by European shows in July, the Australian dates will offer fans an intimate opportunity to experience a striking new chapter in the career of one of our most singular and influential artists.
