Today, critically acclaimed Australian artist Chet Faker releases ‘Over You’, the last single before the arrival of his upcoming album A LOVE FOR STRANGERS on February 13th via BMG.
‘Over You’ is a mesmeric deep dive into a relationship not fated to last. Nick Murphy, the ARIA-winning songwriter, musician, and producer behind Chet 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 Chet Faker’s perspective on love. Murphy continues to shed light on new sides of Chet Faker, building the world around A LOVE FOR STRANGERS, out digitally February 13 and physically April 24, which is an album that sees Nick Murphy returning to the sense of restless exploration that led him to make music as Chet Faker in the first place.
The follow-up to 2021’s HOTEL SURRENDER, A LOVE FOR STRANGERS emerged from a sense of personal rediscovery that was sharpened after the 10 year anniversary of his debut full-length, the sensational and career-ascendant BUILT ON GLASS. In a career defined by restless creativity – spanning albums under his birth name Nick Murphy, including the lauded instrumental work MUSIC FOR SILENCE, and collaborations with artists like Flume and Marcus Marr – A LOVE FOR STRANGERS offers yet more proof that Chet Faker’s extraordinary musical explorations are only just beginning.
