Iggy Pop (Stooges) will be releasing a new album on January 6th titled "Frenzy". You can pre-order it here. The second single from the record is Strung Out Johnny. The song tends to remind me of early U2 or eighties style rock. That being said, his new music seems to be more commercial than I ever remember him to be. But he has kept his lyrical prowess. I love the following verse:
Love becomes compulsive It's wiser to say no God made me a junkie But Satan told me so
I think it paints a good picture of drug user. This song grows on you the more you play it. I would like to say the video enhances the song but in this case it doesn't do anything for it. Like the first single from the forthcoming record it is animated. You can check it out below.
