New Values
Iggy Pop
"Iggy Pop's album "New Values," released in 1979, marks a significant moment in the artist's career as he continues to evolve from his previous collaborations and experiences. This album showcases a more polished sound while still retaining the raw energy and irreverence that Iggy is known for. Working with producer John Cale, Iggy blends elements of punk rock, new wave, and art rock, resulting in a diverse array of tracks that reflect personal themes and societal commentary.
Lyrically, "New Values" explores introspection and the search for identity amidst the chaos of the late 1970s. Songs like "I'm Bored" and "Five Foot One" encapsulate Iggy's distinctive blend of humor and melancholy, addressing topics such as fame, alienation, and the complexities of modern life. While the album may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as some of his earlier works, it showcases Iggy's relentless creativity and willingness to push boundaries, ultimately solidifying his place as a pioneering figure in rock music."
