New York-based artist and producer Will Sass has returned with his latest single, “Fairweather Friends,” featuring acclaimed Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt. Known for his innovative approach to music, Will continues to build on his reputation as a versatile and boundary-pushing talent, crafting tracks that resonate with listeners long after the final note.
“Fairweather Friends” explores the theme of unreliable relationships, a sentiment captured vividly in its opening line: “You loved me on the good days, and ran away when things got heavy.” The song’s anthemic chorus delivers a bold and empowering message: “Saying fairweather to my fairweather friends, this is goodbye, I won’t see you again.” The track’s relatability and emotional depth make it a standout addition to Will’s growing discography.
For Will Sass, the song’s message is universal. “Everyone has had this experience at some point in their lives where they decide it’s time to cut ties with fake friends,” he explains. Through its candid lyrics and catchy production, “Fairweather Friends” offers listeners a cathartic anthem for navigating these challenging moments.
This collaboration with Nina Nesbitt is not their first. Nina previously worked with Will on his earlier single “Into The Blue,” which also featured Kamille. Reflecting on their latest partnership, Nina shared her enthusiasm for the project: “I’ve spent a lot of time writing with upcoming artists the past couple of years and loved working with Will. When he asked me to feature on ‘Fairweather Friends,’ I was excited to be involved. He had such a clear story of what the song meant to him, so it was great to bring it to life together.”
“Fairweather Friends” also demonstrates Will’s prowess as both a producer and a songwriter. The track’s polished sound, driven by infectious melodies and compelling arrangements, cements his status as a sought-after collaborator in the industry. Building on the momentum of his earlier releases—“Into The Blue” and “Alicia”—Will’s latest single solidifies his place among rising talents in the genre-blurring space.
The song’s anthemic quality and poignant lyrics are likely to strike a chord with listeners who have faced similar challenges in their personal lives. By turning a deeply personal narrative into a universal message, “Fairweather Friends” highlights Will’s ability to connect with audiences on a meaningful level. With his latest release, Will Sass continues to prove he is an artist to watch, capable of creating music that transcends boundaries and leaves a lasting impact.
