New York-based producer and artist Will Sass makes more waves with his latest single, “Fairweather Friends,” which features award-winning Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt. The track is a blistering blend of acerbic lyrics, catchy hooks, and visceral feeling, a genuine battle cry for anyone who’s ever been disappointed by people who only show up when it’s easy.
From its first notes, “Fairweather Friends” demands your ears with its glinting production and an immediately seizable hook. Known for pushing the genre envelope, Sass creates a fresh and equally relatable sound by masterfully weaving pop, electronic, and indie elements together. With a driving beat and atmospheric synths, the song builds to an anxious sense of urgency that envelops the listener in an anthemic energy.
Co-written with Nina Nesbitt, the lyrics caustically examine brief friendships and performative connections, the kind that disappear when you need them most. Nesbitt’s trademark silky but powerful vocals embrace a combination of vulnerability and defiance, imbuing the track with an emotional breadth that’s hard to shake. She has a way of bursting through the text with an effortless intensity that makes every syllable feel intimate and profoundly universal.
Will Sass continues establishing himself as a rising artist and producer, and “Fairweather Friends” joins a burgeoning catalog of standout collaborations. After previous singles such as “Into The Blue” (feat. Kamille) and “Alicia” (feat. Alvin Risk), this new one is further proof of your reputation as a talented maker of infectious, meaningful music. He has also found a rare space as both an artist and a top-flight songwriter able to deliver a one-two combination of melody, emotion, and thump that keeps him in the mix of people worldwide. On “Fairweather Friends,” Will Sass and Nina Nesbitt serve a statement. And if this is a sign of what comes next, we’re all in for something unique.
