| Brett Dennen - Ain't No Reason (Official Single Video) |
 |
"Ain't No Reason" is a powerful song and now
an equally compelling video.
Directed by Clair Carre.
A brief description of the video from Brett
himself:
"It is our routines and our comforts that
allow us to ignore social issues. For some
of us, it is our privilege to be ignorant.
This video tells the story of social issues
challenging our privileges and entering our
routines making them impossible to ignore.
Social injustice cannot be ignored when you
are forced to deal with them. That is the
idea behind this video.
What would happen if you were forced to deal
with something that you may think has nothing
to do with you? If suddenly the world's
problems came into your
own home? You would have to realize that you
are connected to everything and everyone one
earth."
The album, So Much More, is available now in
digital and CD formats

FROM WIKIPEDIA: Born in Haywards Heath, West
Sussex, England, Anderson spent much of his
childhood playing sports and becoming a rock
star.
In his teens, Anderson played guitar for
garage bands such as The Pigs and Geoff, the
latter featuring future Suede bassist Mat
Osman. In the late-1980s, Anderson and Osman
formed Suede with Anderson's girlfriend,
Justine Frischmann, soon recruiting guitarist
Bernard Butler through an advertisement in
the NME. After receiving percussional help
from former Smiths drummer Mike Joyce, in
1991, Simon Gilbert joined Suede as their
official drummer. It was around this time
that Frischmann left Anderson for Blur
frontman Damon Albarn, which created an early
rift in the burgeoning Britpop scene of the
early 1990s. After missing too many
rehearsals and flaunting her relationship
with Albarn while still living with Anderson,
Frischmann was fired from the group, going on
to front Elastica.
Even before Suede's first album appeared in
stores, Anderson's androgynous style and
vague "confessions" about his sexuality
stirred controversy in the British music
press. In 1993, Suede hit number one on the
UK charts. Combining Morrissey's homoerotic
posturing with David Bowie's glam theatrics,
Anderson achieved instant fame in the UK.
America, however, was still spellbound by the
grunge revolution and Anderson's grim
yodellings clashed with the raw anger of
Nirvana's Kurt Cobain and Pearl Jam's Eddie
Vedder. Furthering complications across the
Atlantic, due to a trademark dispute with the
American lounge singer Suede, the band were
forced to change their name to The London
Suede for the American market. Although the
departure of songwriting partner Butler in
1994 during the recording of second album Dog
Man Star (number three on the UK charts) led
many to fear Suede's eventual demise, the
band continued to release critically and
commercially successful material in the UK,
such as 1996's critically-acclaimed Coming Up
(another number one of the band).
Coming Up proved to be a last high point, as
Anderson's well-publicised problems with
crack and heroin addiction put the band on
hiatus in the late 1990s. The band carried on
to release Head Music (number one on the UK
charts and in several countries) in 1999. But
A New Morning was a commercial disappointment
in 2002. In 2003, after the release of their
"Singles" compilation, Suede disbanded.
Anderson has commented that the history of
Suede is "...ridiculous. It's like
Machiavelli rewriting Fear and Loathing in
Las Vegas. It involves a cast of thousands.
It should star Charlton Heston... it's like a
pram that's just been pushed down a hill.
It's always been fiery and tempestuous and
really on the edge and it never stops. I
don't think it ever will."
On his own, Anderson collaborated with Stina
Nordenstam, and his guest vocals can be heard
on the album This Is Stina Nordenstam and has
made a duet with Jane Birkin in 1995 which
exists in 1998 Birkin's Best Of album. He
also sang the lyric "You're going to reap
just what you sow" in the Children In Need
charity single Perfect Day.
In 2004, after resolving their differences,
Anderson and former Suede guitarist Bernard
Butler formed the band The Tears, who
released a critically acclaimed debut album
Here Come The Tears. It was produced by
Bernard Butler and largely recorded at home,
and featured the singles Refugees and Lovers.
Anderson was close friends with Simon Hobart
(promoter of Popstarz) and was the DJ at the
benefit night held in Hobart's honour after
his death.
In 2005, Anderson "ended speculation" when he
publicly came out as a bisexual man who has
never had a homosexual experience.[1]
In May 2006, Anderson announced details of a
forthcoming solo album consisting of 11
tracks, which is set for release on 26th
March 2007. He told NME that the title will
be 'Brett Anderson' since "...that's my name,
you see." The accompanying video for
Anderson's first single Love Is Dead debuted
on UK television in February 2007, quickly
finding its way to YouTube. Love Is Dead made
its debut at #42 in the UK singles chart, and
the album went to #54 the following week.
