"It's a Pleasure" is the fourth studio album by British musician Baxter Dury, released in October 2014. The album represents a significant development in Dury's distinctive style and offers a modern twist on his characteristically introspective and mellow sound. It has been described as having vibrant melodies intertwined with heart-rending lyrics, creating a feeling of beauty and melancholy.
Throughout the album, Dury explores themes of love, heartbreak, and his own emotional growth. It contains ten tracks, including popular songs like "Palm Trees," "Whispered," and the title track "It's a Pleasure". The album received a warm reception from critics and fans alike for its poignant lyrics and distinct musical style which is an exotic mix of indie rock, new wave, pop, and electronic elements.
Baxter Dury, the son of the late Ian Dury, a renowned punk rock musician from the 70s, has been carving his own path in the music industry since the release of his first album "Len Parrot's Memorial Lift." Like his previous work, "It's a Pleasure" carries some influence from his father, but Dury continues to evolve and define his unique musical identity. This album is often interpreted as an affirmation of his musical prowess and presented a more confident, mature Baxter Dury to fans and critics.
