***”Suede”*** are an English rock band formed in London in 1989. The band is composed of singer ***[Brett Anderson](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Anderson)***, guitarist ***[Richard Oakes](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Oakes_(guitarist))***, bass player ***[Mat Osman](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Osman)***, drummer ***[Simon Gilbert](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Gilbert_(musician))*** and keyboardist/rhythm guitarist ***[Neil Codling](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Codling)***.
Equally inspired by the glam crunch of **David Bowie** and the romantic bedsit pop of the **Smiths**, the band developed a sweeping, guitar-heavy sound that was darkly sensual, sexually ambiguous, melodic, and unabashedly ambitious.
***”Bloodsports”*** is the band's sixth studio album released on 18 March 2013, via **[Warner Bros. Records](
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records)**.
Frontman **Brett Anderson** commented that the album would sound like a cross between ***”[Dog Man Star](
https://lbry.tv/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---Dog-Man-Star:d)”*** and ***”[Coming Up](
https://lbry.tv/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---Coming-Up:8)”***. He stated that **”Bloodsports”** is "about lust, it's about the chase, it's about the endless carnal game of love. It was possibly the hardest we've ever made but certainly the most satisfying".
Anderson is no longer romanticizing doomed love, he's soldiering on and his fight against the dying light gives Bloodsports an air of optimism underneath its elegant melancholy.
Where ***”[Head Music](
https://lbry.tv/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---Head-Music:6)”*** and ***”[A New Morning](
https://lbry.tv/@OrganizamStar:8/Suede---A-New-Morning:5)”*** felt fractured and confused, ***”Bloodsports”*** is precise and purposeful. By excising the neon-colored glam that came to define the band in the years after ***”Coming Up”***, Suede wear their middle age with style. Never once do they sound desperate on Bloodsports; they sound confident, and comfortable in the knowledge that this is where they all should be.
***”For the Strangers”*** is the fifth song on Suede’s sixth studio album ***”[Bloodsports](
