“You’re a loser and you’re losing me”

Aotearoa/New Zealand singer-songwriter/producer Delaney Davidson has just released a new compilation album of deep cuts from across his fascinating career called Alternatives. The collection includes the APRA Best Country Music Song Award winning single, ‘You’re a Loser‘.

A timeless country music ballad, the song follows the tropes that have made the genre so enduring, ‘You’re a Loser’ is written in the classic parasitic song style i.e. title that needs an answer to bring it into context. Pre-pandemic, Davidson was at the height of his eternal tour schedule in this time so the international flavours and universal appeal are heavily in place at this part of his career. The video was filmed in Colorado by Rett Rogers. Having always been intended as a 7 inch release ( with B side ‘I’m So Depressed’) the video finally sees the light of day with the digital release of his Alternatives compilation.
