Free Is The Eighteenth Studio Album By Iggy Pop Released On September 6 2019. Iggy Pop Described The Album As "reflect" The Exhaustion Of Post-Tour Life" As Well As "uniquely Somber And Contemplative". He Went On To Say That After Touring In Support Of Post Pop Depression He Felt "drained" And Wanted To Be "free" So The Album "just Kind Of Happened To Me And I Let It Happen". In An Interview With Exclaim! He Elaborated "I Wanted To Wiggle Out Of The Frame Of Rock Instrumentation That I'd Gotten Encased In Over Time. There's Nothing Wrong With It But It Wasn't What I Felt At This Time. I Was Interested In Working With Some Fine Musicians Who Broke Out Of The Normal Time And Space." Pop Also Called It "an Album In Which Other Artists Speak For Me But I Lend My Voice". The Record Has Been Referred To As A Work Of Ambient Music. Pop First Learned Of Sarah Lipstate Who Records Under The Name Noveller And Leron Thomas While Hosting His BBC Radio 6 Music Show He Contacted Them To Express His Appreciation Which Eventually Led To Collaborations. In 2016 Pop Invited Lipstate To Open For Him During The Post Pop Depression Tour. Of Thomas Pop Said "little By Little His Stuff Was Knocking Me Out And I Really Wanted To Sing His Songs." The Track "We Are The People" Features Lyrics Written By Lou Reed In 1970 But First Published Posthumously In 2018. The Words "totally Resonated" With Pop "Like 'wham' Like 'pow'. It Was The First Poem In A Book Of Lyrics And When I Saw It I Thought 'My God This Is The Country Today As I Understand It Or At Least One Legitimate Portrayal Of The Country Today. It Really Spoke To Me." "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" Is A Reading Of The Poem Of The Same Name By Dylan Thomas. Pop Had Previously Done A Recording Of The Poem At The Request Of An Advertising Agency Who Wanted It For A Commercial Pop Provided A Reading But Initially Didn't Think Much Of It. By The Time Of The Recording Of Free Pop Had Grown To Like It And Decided To Rerecord The Poem And Have Lipstate And Thomas Improvise Around It.
