Chris Lanzon - You're Missing The Best Part (2025) [Hi-Res]

You’re Missing The Best Part is the debut album from Chris Lanzon. After years of writing from a truthful place but often cloaking that truth in metaphors or generalisations, the artist sought a new approach—one rooted in unfiltered honesty. This record was an intentional move toward saying exactly what needed to be said, even when it felt messy or uncomfortable. In doing so, the artist discovered that the more personal the songs became, the more space there was for genuine connection.

Collaboration was central to the process. Close friends helped shape the record not only sonically, but emotionally. They illuminated blindspots, pushed for deeper exploration, and guided the project to places it could never have reached alone. Throughout, the commitment to honesty remained: recording live takes, embracing imperfections and playfulness, and resisting the temptation to overproduce or polish.

Ultimately, You’re Missing The Best Part stands as a reminder of what it means to be human in a world that can often feel detached. It highlights the value of community and friendship—of laughing with loved ones, sharing meals, moving fluidly between lighthearted conversation and deeper reflection. The record captures that rush and fear of vulnerability, followed by the relief and warmth of being truly seen and understood.
