I Thought I Was Better Than You

Description

« The classiest of crooners » Les Inrocks
After the release of Mr Maserati, a best of tracing his 20 years of career in 2021, Baxter is back in 2023 with an 8th full-length album: I Thought I Was Better Than You. Produced by Paul White, known for his work with Charli XCX and Danny Brown, the album was co-written with British singers Eska and JGrrey in addition to Madeleine Hart. Classy keyboards, addictive bass lines, catchy drum machines, disillusioned spoken word-type vocals, female choirs, and R&B inspirations: there is no doubt, you are indeed listening to Baxter Dury. Full of humor and self-mockery, the son of the famous Ian Dury has been developing a rich and ever-changing discography for about twenty years, as changeable as the British sky.
