Iggy Pop's newest offering is going to be awesome, and a breath of fresh air also. If you do not recall the fiasco that was 2007's The Weirdness then good for you...stick to the old stuff. But perhaps you also saw this excellent little number from the R&R hall of fame inductions in 2008. "You make me feel shiny and new, like I'm being touched for the very first time," he says then exits out the back, hugs Madonna, and introduces Mike Watt to her: all the while still shirtless with the animated Iggy strut.
The Wierdness' attempt to reinvent the Stooges may have sounded like a failure, but it certainly primed Iggy to re-envelop himself in music. Iggy's New Album will drop on May 18th which he describes in this video as a "quiet album with jazz overtones." He also denounces "thug" guitar players. Don't worry though, on the album, titled Preliminaries, our street walking cheetah with a heartful is influenced by a book dealing with death, sex, and the end of the world. This new French Iggy could update his two decades of solo work for the better.
At the end of the above video you can listen to one track of the forthcoming album "King of the Dogs." One of our punk grandfathers still wants to be your dog and he hasn't left the gutter yet, just maybe joined Tom Waits in his.
