badxyou Drops New Single “Better” with 8485

Out now with their newest piece of creative artistry, badxyou and 8485 have come together for “Better.” Immediately, music enthusiasts will recognize the nod to The Killers’ iconic record “Mr. Brightside” as this single is reminiscent of it, including incredible guitar riffs, emotive vocals, and a gripping story.

“Better” is powered by a vulnerable narrative, as badxyou frontman Andy confronts his bi-polar disorder, battling within a toxic relationship of wanting to be seen as someone better than who he thinks he is. There’s a certain combination of nostalgia with modern tones in “Better” than really puts the listener into a deep connection with the lyrics and story here.

“8485 is one of our favorite vocalists. After we made this record, we knew we wanted somebody that sounded pure, with an angelic type of voice. 8485 is exactly that.” – badxyou
