Three years in the making, Wrongderful marks a sonic evolution for the Cannes-born artist, expanding his distinctive fusion of yacht rock, funk, and psychedelic pop while maintaining the cohesive audio-visual universe that has captivated fans worldwide.
“I’ve spent a little over three years writing and recording Wrongderful,” explains Mcbaise. “With it, I wanted to build on what I started with my previous album Tubes, moving away from classic guitar-jazz chords and walking bass lines. The idea was to expand the universe while keeping everything under the same roof, making some tracks as punchy and sunny as possible, while others feel more like an introvert wandering through a moody forest.”
The album showcases Mcbaise’s range, from hypnotic late-night grooves like ‘Moon’ to the infectious energy of viral hit ‘Alice’ (over 1 million streams, over 1 million YouTube views). Focus track ‘Never’ continues the artist’s tradition of crafting catchy melodies paired with throbbing rhythms that appeal to fans of Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips, and Mac DeMarco.
About Mcbaise
Mcbaise is the musical nom de plume of Matthieu Bessudo (aka mcbess), originally from Cannes. Building his reputation initially through distinctive illustrations, Bessudo began recording music under the name ‘mcbaise’ as a creative outlet, reflecting on his hometown with the love, scorn, and nostalgia that comes with familiarity.
His releases have found cult success as much for their catchy melodies and throbbing grooves as for the meticulously crafted animated music videos accompanying each track. Videos for ‘Ugo’, ‘Water Slide’, and ‘She’s a Big Boy’ have racked up several million plays, with each taking months to create and immersing fans in his singular vision.
Wrongderful is the long-awaited follow-up to 2021’s Tubes and features the first animated music video since 2021’s ‘Water Slide’. Following cryptic social media teasers, live shows are rumored for later in 2025.
Mcbaise occupies a unique space where music meets visual art culture, appealing to fans of artists like KAWS and streetwear labels such as Supreme, Stussy, and Patta.
