Following on from last month's single Release Myself, Bess Atwell has today returned with Fan Favourite, her latest track to be lifted form the forthcoming new album Light Sleeper, out 24th May 2024 produced by The National’s Aaron Dressner. Speaking about "Fan Favourite”, 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". Take a listen for yourselves below.
