Felt Better Alive is Peter Doherty's first solo album in nine years and his most confident collection yet. Sprinkled with radiant playfulness, almost innocence at times, shot through with signature melodic nous, quirky poetic realism and his visual story-telling gifts. The songs began in an idyllic rural setting, the Normandy village where Peter and his family live. Peter enlisted his friend and producer/musician Mike Moore, who's produced Baxter Dury and plays guitar in Liam Gallagher's band. Peter's not only a survivor but a creative powerhouse, with more projects, plans and reasons to stay alive than he's ever had. And in 2025, the year he turns 46, with his fifth solo album Felt Better Alive, he brings us some of the most deft, bouncy and charming songs of his always melodic life.
