“Better Than I Used to Be” by Mat Kearney ft. AFSheeN, Monday, March 18, 2024 (repost)
Mat Kearney 's music has changed a lot from when he debuted in 2004 with his first record Bullet on Peter Furler 's Christian label InPop Records. Kearney's early work infused acoustic singer-songwriter styles with hip hop, a style the singer mostly abandoned by this third record, City of Black & White . Nine years after that stylistic departure and three records that didn't seem to move far beyond the folk-pop sound, Kearney released a poppier, more electronic-inspired record, CRAZYTALK in 2018, which produced the single “ Better Than I Used to Be .” MY PLANE LEAVES TOMORROW. Teaming up with Iranian-American electronic artist AFSheeN for the first track on CRAZYTALK, "Better Than I Used to Be," Kearney expands upon his sound. Although AFSheeN has worked with much bigger artists than Kearney, remixing and producing, AFSheeN's most streamed song is Kearney's 2018 hit. The singer-songwriter has written for K-pop acts such as NCT
