Brett Lewis Anderson is an English singer-songwriter
, best known as the lead vocalist of the band Suede
. After Suede disbanded in 2003, he briefly fronted The Tears
, and has released four solo albums. Suede reformed in 2010.
In Suede's early days, Anderson's androgynous style and unique vocals were an instant phenomenon in the UK.
, West Sussex
into a working class family, Anderson's mother was an artist and his father was a classical music fan. He was brought up in a small council estate in Lindfield
, a village adjoining Haywards Heath, attending Lindfield Junior School then Oathall Comprehensive School.
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

. 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 ever increasingly commercially successful material in the UK, Europe and Asia, such as 1996's critically acclaimed Coming Up (another number one of the band). 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, following the release of their "Singles" collection, 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 appeared 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".
Following persistent rumours, the boss of the band's former label, Nude Records' Saul Galpern, confirmed to the NME that Suede would be playing together again. "It's [for] a one-off gig," he explained of the show, which featured the band's second incarnation. The band will played London's Royal Albert Hall as part of the 2010 Teenage Cancer Trust shows.
Because of the huge success of the shows, a new European tour was announced for the summer of 2010, covering 2 festivals, Skanderborg Festival
in Denmark and Parkenfestivalen in Norway, the tour continued in the autumn covering France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Belgium. A homecoming date at the The O2 Arena (London)
closed the tour. Further festival dates have been announced for 2011, along with UK dates where Suede will perform their first 3 albums in full.

" and "Lovers
". Following the cancellation of a European tour in support of the album, the band were dropped by Independiente and the project was abandoned.
Anderson was close friends with Simon Hobart

, was distributed to all ticket buyers, in the form of a USB stick. The album was recorded in only seven days, with most tracks recorded as live takes. He plays the piano and the acoustic guitars, and is accompanied by Amy Langley on cello. One of the songs "Back to You
" written with Fred Ball of the Norwegian band Pleasure is a duet with French actress Emmanuelle Seigner
.
Anderson's third album, Slow Attack
was co-written with Leo Abrahams. On his website, Brett Anderson writes that he tried to use words in a different way, as fragments, and hint of meanings and emotions. The music is more orchestral than Wilderness with more instrumentation throughout the album. On tour, he was joined by Didz Hammond (Dirty Pretty Things
), Angie Pollock (Goldfrapp
), Sebastian Sternberg (Pleasure
, Marina and the Diamonds), Kris Sonne and Amy Langley, thus giving the songs a more art-rock edge.
Black Rainbows - Anderson's fourth solo album will be released through BA Songs, distributed by EMI Music Service on 26th September 2011 which will be preceeded by the single "Brittle Heart". This will be second album Anderson has co-written with Leo Abrahams and sees a return to a simpler more commercial rock format.
