“Over You” dives into the slow unraveling of a relationship that was never meant to last. Over a nostalgic breakbeat, the track layers soft vocals that reflect on lost time and the struggle of knowing when to finally let go. It follows his previous single “Can You Swim?” and continues the emotional arc Faker has been building throughout this album’s launch. 

A Love For Strangers marks a return to creative exploration for Nick Murphy, the artist behind the Chet Faker name. The album follows 2021’s Hotel Surrender and arrives after the 10th anniversary of his breakout album Built On Glass. With a career that includes experimental releases under his real name, Faker’s latest project shows he is still evolving and pushing his sound forward. Fans can stream “Over You” now and catch him live when the tour hits major cities across the U.S. and Canada this spring.
