A moment for quiet reflection...

Joy Crookes and Sam Fender collaborate on the new single ‘Somebody To You’.
This alt-soul singer has enjoyed an impressive summer, releasing a series of must-listen singles and delivering a remarkable performance on the Other Stage at Glastonbury.
The newly released track ‘Somebody To You’ features a special guest with Sam Fender providing backing vocals.
Co-written and co-produced alongside long-time partner Harvey Grant, the song presents a gentle moment of self-reflection, as Joy Crookes contemplates the nature of dependence.
Joy shares: “‘Somebody to You’ is a song I penned while examining my own reliance on someone I deeply care about, as well as their reliance on me—and whether that dynamic needed alteration for me to gain a better understanding of myself.”
The backing vocals come from Sam Fender, whom Joy met at the Mercury Awards in 2022 and fondly refers to as “my fav Geordie mate.”
