Clash 129 20th Anniversary Edition - Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry is the second face of CLASH 129.

An iconic figure whose impact can be felt across music and fashion, Bryan Ferry is a singular name in pop culture. As the dapper frontman with Roxy Music, he crossed the charts and transgressed boundaries, inspiring generations of artists to pick up on his ground-breaking ideas.

Yet he’s also had a shadow career. An arch collaborator, his solo work is often where his most pronounced passions can be found – the love for Black American music, the thirst for Dylan’s poetic lyricism, the need to tackle different, often hugely unexpected projects.

Invited into his West London studio, CLASH pored over Bryan Ferry’s solo archive ahead of a lavish box set release, one that attempts to distil five decades of solo creativity. With his blue eyes shimmering in the afternoon light, he looked back on a lifetime of work, moving from his boyhood job as a tailor’s assistant past his international jet-setting peak to the genial elder-statesman of British music.

Humble, and frank, he remains every bit the icon. As he puts it: “It's not a job, it’s a life.”

But that’s not all. Between these pages you’ll be introduced to trailblazing model, poet and now musician Kai Isaiah Jamal, encounter the triumphant origin story of Thee Sacred Souls, the boundary-less jazz of Nubya Garcia, and the anthemic electronics of TSHA. You’ll also absorb life lessons from Bashy, become exposed to the searing truth of Jeshi, and much more.
