Iggy Pop has announced a new album called Free, the follow-up to 2016’s Post Pop Depression. Iggy has spent the last few years collaborating with a bunch of different artists, from Oneohtrix Point Never to Underworld, and for his new album he worked with Leron Thomas and Noveller for what’s described as a slower atmosphere, which is exhibited on its first single and opening title track, a moody wisp of a song that finds Iggy repeating “I want to be free.”

Here’s what he said about the album in a statement:

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.
