Iggy Pop Announces New Album ‘Free’ & Shares Single

Iggy Pop will release a new album entitled Free on September 6 via Loma Vista. The legendary rocker shared the album’s title track as its lead single.

Pop’s most recent studio album was 2016’s Post Pop Depression, which the 72-year-old previously hinted would be his final record. Pop worked with Leron Thomas and Noveller on the “uniquely somber and contemplative” Free. Here’s Iggy on the new 10-track LP:

This is an album in which other artists speak for me, but I lend my voice…

By the end of the tours following Post Pop Depression, I felt sure that I had rid myself of the problem of chronic insecurity that had dogged my life and career for too long.

But I also felt drained. And I felt like I wanted to put on shades, turn my back, and walk away. I wanted to be free. I know that’s an illusion, and that freedom is only something you feel, but I have lived my life thus far in the belief that that feeling is all that is worth pursuing; all that you need – not happiness or love necessarily, but the feeling of being free.

So this album just kind of happened to me, and I let it happen.
