Iggy Pop - Pop Music - Limited 180-Gram Ash Grey Colored Vinyl - VINYL LP

Nearly two decades on from his debut, British singer-pianist Anthony Strong returns with And Then We Kiss..., a celebration of love pairing his long-standing quartet with a full string orchestra. Drawing on Broadway, the Great American Songbook and classic pop, the album brings together thirteen standards in newly crafted arrangements by Strong, expanded through the rich orchestrations of Callum Au (Michael Bublé, Quincy Jones, Jamie Cullum). From the passion of 'Some Enchanted Evening' to the playful charm of 'No Two People', the darker edge of 'Love For Sale' and a bossa nova reworking of 'If You Leave Me Now' featuring Pamina Beroff, the album explores love in all it's forms. Known for his high-energy, hard-swinging performances worldwide, Strong reveals a more expansive, orchestral side here-an album for romantics, built on great songs and rich musical storytelling.

Double transparent purple colored vinyl LP pressing. Iggy Pop practically invented punk rock with The Stooges and is celebrated for his wild and dangerous attitude, whether with The Stooges, David Bowie, or other line-ups. But he's rarely seen SOLO. This Skydog Records double-vinyl album captures Iggy without any band in various environments, mostly acoustic and also electric, but - just as rock'n'roll as ever! Stripped down versions of I Wanna Be Your Dog, Louie Louie, Night Clubbing, Jonathan Richmond's Pablo Picasso with only 4 strings left on his guitar and many other favourites as they've rarely been heard - and five otherwise unreleased songs*! The 2LP set comprises a solo acoustic show from Barcelona, an acoustic studio session, a solo electric gig from Paris, plus more solo tracks from elsewhere. Skydog Records' first Iggy was in 1976 with the riotous last ever Stooges show, 'Metallic KO'; this is it's alternative hidden gem. Iggy Pop continues to tour the world as well as presenting radio shows.

Deified during his lifetime by the press, which for four decades has capitulated to his obviousness, adored by a public that now only turns out in droves to see him, once again, roam and thrill stages that didn't ask for so much, godfather, almost in spite of himself, of alternative currents that he himself has decapitated, with a swipe of his teeth, with each rebirth, Iggy Pop is better than an artist in the breach. He is the breach.Since InchPréliminairesInch, we've known that Iggy can express himself in ways other than roaring on guitars raining splinters, other than howling gunpowder. All he needs is the urge. Driven solely by his artistic aspirations, and driven by a vital need to get to the heart of the matter, his course of action has led him to record, under French influence, artistically and from the heart, the dozen or so songs of this InchAprèsInch, which rhymes with his present.With his covers of InchLa vie en roseInch, InchEverybody's TalkingInch, InchSyracuseInch, InchMichelleInch and InchEt si tu n'existais pasInch, Iggy isn't trying to prove anything. He's simply pointing the other side of his personality towards the light, and leaving it to others to guess which is the darker side. A far cry from the wild, emotional rhythms he has chosen to express in another way. InchAprèsInch deserves to resonate, loud and clear, and in a different way.With a voice as beautiful as it is deep, and one that stirs the guts, Iggy Pop appropriates these classics, tailoring them to his own dimensions and guaranteeing the thrill.
