Après

Iggy Pop

A weathered baritone takes on the Great French Songbook. Intimate, acoustic, and surprisingly tender, this is the Godfather of Punk as a world-weary crooner.

A world-weary, romantic stillness that feels like a quiet conversation in a darkened room.

Moments Worth Listening For
The vulnerability in his voice during the opening lines of La Vie en rose, stripping away the song's usual grandeur for something smaller and more human.
The way the upright bass anchors the sparse arrangement of La Javanaise, providing a heartbeat for Iggy's weathered French delivery.
The haunting, weary quality of the whistling on Syracuse that evokes a traveler who has seen too much.
