Review

Sam Fender’s *Seventeen Going Under (Deluxe)* is a powerful collection of raw emotion, lyrical depth, and anthemic instrumentation. The album, which builds on the original release with additional tracks, solidifies Fender as one of the most compelling voices in modern music. Themes of adolescence, resilience, and working-class struggles are delivered with sincerity and guttural honesty, making every song resonate on a deeply personal level. The title track, "Seventeen Going Under," is a standout with its reflective poignancy, while tracks like "Get You Down" and "Spit of You" showcase Fender's unique ability to blend vulnerability with soaring melodies. The expanded deluxe edition adds even more nuance and depth, including tracks that dig further into his emotional and sonic palette. Backed by his Springsteen-esque knack for storytelling and driving instrumentals, Fender crafts an album that feels both intimate and electrifying. A record that speaks to the trials of youth and the navigation of adult identity, this deluxe edition only amplifies its emotional weight and musical brilliance. Sam Fender’s artistry continues to shine, marking *Seventeen Going Under (Deluxe)* as an unforgettable listen.
