‘Better’s’ creaky guitar brushes up against bouncy verses punctuated by a smooth reggae-style inflection. This time around, he leans into the buoyant groove with swagger and delivers a clever and catchy chorus: “I know you could’ve done better, I know you still feel all alone, I know you think I’m pathetic, you never fail to let me know.” It serves as both a moment of confidence and an appropriate send-off to anyone undeserving and unappreciative who brings negativity into your life.
The visual seamlessly brings this story to life as we witness a femme fatale dispatch two men. Meanwhile, Jehry looks on in disapproval, singing from the stairs and inside of a freshly dug grave in the woods.
Regarding the song, he commented, “Better” is my sarcastic letter to that one person who treats life like a constant competition — the sibling who manages to casually remind you they ran a marathon — during a conversation about soup. It’s about the mental gymnastics of thinking, ‘Wow, maybe they are better than me,’ before remembering the truth: nobody’s better than anybody. We’re all just trying to get through this life — some of us make it look a little too polished for our good.”
Robinson has earned acclaim from Folk N Rock—”Jehry Robinson’s ability to fuse melodic elements with his unique style effortlessly speaks volumes”—and from V13, which stated, “We love to categorize music and musicians, but what do you do when you come across one who defies all categorization? Enter Jehry Robinson.”
His discography reflects his versatility and continuing growth as an artist. Notable releases include his debut album under Strange Music, 20/Twenty, featuring the collaboration “Daddy Issues” with Jelly Roll (2020). The Name Is Not Important (2021) is an introspective project that delves into personal themes and highlights his lyrical prowess, and Drink More Water (2023)is an explosive genre-jumping album.
