Beyoncé and Solange Knowles. Noel and Liam Gallagher. HAIM. A string of famous musical siblings have made their mark on the Official Singles Chart over its 70 years; but you may not have known of Liam Fender.

Until now.

The older brother of - you guessed it - Sam Fender, Liam releases his official debut single Love Will Conquer this week (October 27). And while the family connection may be an obvious attention-grabber initially, Liam's first release certainly showcases his individuality and a very unique approach to storytelling.

Ahead of its release, Liam was kind enough to give OfficialCharts.com an exclusive First Listen to the track; which introduces the North Shields native as a musician eager to spread optimism through his artistry.

'What if life is but a game; tricks and treats in the brain,' Liam begins atop a buoyant, rich instrumental. 'All will be right in the end, love will conquer and ascend.'

Love Will Conquer's agenda is immediately clear. Lyrically, the song sees Liam take an empathetic approach to what are undoubtedly turbulent times. Though candid in its themes, the track maintains a message of unity in the face of adversity.

'Take some time for yourself; put your grand schemes on a shelf,' Liam continues. 'Take the weight of your wings, love will conquer bitter things.'

In a world all too often obsessed with image, status and power, Love Will Conquer strips it back to the simple stuff. This single does exactly what it says on the tin; and after three-and-a-half-minutes of Liam's warming vocals, you can't help but leave this song feeling a little lighter.

Job done, we'd say.

Liam Fender's Love Will Conquer is released October 28 via Humble Angel Records.
