Finn Forster Shares Heartbreaking New Video For ‘Strangers’

Rising Middlesbrough singer-songwriter Finn Forster has unveiled the emotional new video for his latest single ‘Strangers’, offering a poignant visual companion to one of his most personal releases to date.

Self-directed by Forster, the video follows two former lovers now living separate lives, intertwined with a powerful contemporary dance performance that mirrors the song's themes of love, loss and distance. The result is a striking visual that amplifies the raw emotion at the heart of the track.

First premiered on BBC Radio 1 during Jack Saunders and Sian Eleri's Road to R1BW show, ‘Strangers’ captures the painful full-circle journey of a relationship — from strangers, to everything, and back again. Speaking about the track, Forster explains: "It's about going from total strangers, to being in love, to then acting like strangers again."

The release arrives at a landmark moment in Forster's career. The singer has just wrapped up his biggest UK headline tour to date, with the 12-date run proving a major success, selling out five shows and reaching 80% capacity overall.

Momentum continues to build for the North East artist, who is now gearing up for a busy summer festival season with appearances at TRNSMT, Boardmasters, Isle of Wight Festival, Truck Festival and more, before heading out across the UK and Europe this autumn supporting New York rock artist Des Rocs.

Already earning praise from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, BBC Radio 2 and festival audiences across the country, Forster has spent the last two years steadily establishing himself as one of the UK's most exciting emerging voices. Following support slots with Stereophonics, Bastille and JADE, alongside recognition from the PRS Foundation's PPL Momentum Fund, ‘Strangers’ feels like another significant step forward.

With a larger body of work on the horizon, Finn Forster's latest release proves he's not just building momentum — he's becoming one of British guitar music's most compelling new storytellers.
