One of the sexiest and beautiful male voices that I had the opportunity to hear in my life, and probably in the lives of many, the great Peter Murphy, former lead singer of Bauhaus, the legendary band of the afterpunk English movement, is about to release a new album, and according to what we hear on the radio and myspace, it is a real musical gem…. It´s about time Peter!
The new album from the elegant Mr. Peter Murphy, is entitled Ninth. One can appreciate by the themes we have been able to hear so far a mature work, with much Eastern influence, which is not new to his music, as he has previously worked with Mercan Dede, the Turkish artist who created the album titled “Dust” 2002, clearly inspired by the instrumentation and the deep feeling of Turkish music -remember that Peter has lived for many years in Istanbul. While Dust is an excellent album, very intimate and with very good reviews, it was away from Peter’s rock we were used to hearing: It wasn’t until 2004, when he launched the album “Unshattered” when he newly connects with his rock-pop vein. However, this new album is the successor to “Unshattered” and he has had 6 years to create the 19 songs that will be part of the new LP.
The album, which does not have official release date yet, will be accompanied by a tour entitled “The Dirty Dirt Tour” which is underway and will expand through several countries of the old continent and the world. Concerning his new work, Peter has said on their official website and myspace that …., I copy the sentence in the Peter’s words: “Ninth has been ready for some time, I´ve played it live well before the official release”. Also, Peter himself, in several interviews on his previous tour in 2009, referred to the album as a work for which he has much material, so the choice of topics has been a slow work. Well, this long waiting time is likely to have their rewards!
“Ninth” will be available in Fall, the date is very close to be confirmed, so stay alert.
We will follow the tour!.
