Sam Fender Enlists ‘Adolescence’ Star & Director for ‘Little Bit Closer’ Music Video


Sam Fender's new music video for 'Little Bit Closer' features 'Adolescence' star Owen Cooper and director Philip Barantini.

Lifted from February’s People Watching LP, the track itself sees Fender dive deep into his relationship with religion, depicting the emotional complexities of growing up in the Christian faith. Adolescence took the U.K. by storm when it hit screens earlier this year; upon release in March, episode one pulled the largest ever audience for any streaming TV show in the country in a single week. The four-part series, which explores complex issues such as toxic masculinity and the dangers of online radicalization, is set to be made freely accessible to secondary school pupils through a partnership between Netflix and the Into Film+ streaming service.
