In September, Fender released his new single, ‘The Borders’, shortly before the official release date of his debut album, ‘Hypersonic Missiles’, on September 13.

Fender acclaimed the song on Twitter, “This is my favourite song on the album! Big love everyone! Hope you like it!” 

Fender was recently named as the winner of the 2019 Brits Critics’ Choice Award 2019. In previous years winners included Adele, Sam Smith and Florence & The Machine. Sam fought off competition from Lewis Capaldi and Mahalia to take home the award.

Responding to the win, the 25 year old said. “I am truly humbled to win The BRITs Critics’ Choice Award. Being nominated was crazy enough, never mind winning it. I’m so grateful to everyone back home for believing, and to my band and team for all their hard work. We’ve played literally hundreds of shows this year, and we’re going to go even harder in 2019.”
