My Take
Brett Anderson is one of those artists who refuses to fade, and I admire him for it. As the frontman and chief lyricist of Suede he defined a strain of glamorous, decadent British rock that meant a great deal to my generation. After the band split in 2003 he fronted the Tears with Bernard Butler and released four solo albums, playing guitar and keys himself, before Suede reformed in 2010 and kept touring. That androgynous allure paired with real literary instinct is rare. Aging without going soft, holding to his own aesthetic, that is the kind of stubbornness I respect.
Overview
Brett Lewis Anderson (born 29 September 1967) is an English singer best known as the lead singer-songwriter and primary lyricist of the rock band Suede. After Suede disbanded in 2003, he fronted the Tears with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler in 2004–2006, and released four solo albums on which he also played guitar and keyboards. Suede re-formed in 2010; they continue to record and tour.
