IG confirms new album
A MESSAGE FROM IAN GILLAN
It was late March in 2019, when I found myself in Nashville TN, renting an Airbnb delight called ‘Rose River Cottage’, on one bank of the Cumberland River, almost directly opposite the Grand Ole Opry, from where the quaint music would drift across the water into the wee small hours.
It was springtime, and – along with the woodchucks – I was emerging from hibernation.
Across town, other members of Deep Purple were staying in more urbane accommodation. This was a shock, as we are famous for our lack of planning and we all wondered what had drawn us together in this place and time.
An even greater surprise was to follow; each member (arms and legs I’m talking about) arrived at a rehearsal studio and then a recording studio at roughly the same time on roughly the same day with roughly no idea of what we were doing.
It was a total coincidence, the like of which has probably never been witnessed since – unbelievably – exactly the same thing happened a few years earlier when we spawned some In-Finite ideas.
Then – blow me down – Bob Ezrin turned up and said ‘Let’s have dinner on Monday’
Someone enquired ‘What’s the big occasion?’
Bob replied ‘To celebrate the fact that we are all still alive…’
‘In which case’ continued the world-weary muso, ‘We’d better make it Sunday’
But we survived the weekend and had dinner on Monday.
Tuesday, we made another album and Wednesday we went to the pub….
Something like that anyway (it was all a blur) and now we gird our lions (yes, I know, but I’m in Africa) for a year of febrile activity into which a rare amount of planning has been invested; obviously not by us.
I sense the grinding of campaign wheels, the oiling of creaky roadies, rumours of itineraries and ripples of creativity in Hamburg. Quite plainly something is in the air; but I have no idea what it could be.
Perhaps, after another brief hibernation, all will become clear, in the spring of 2020.

Re: IG confirms new album
I believe this is the most intriguing, seceretive, or maybe mysterious recording of a Deep Purple album, almost no pictures of them in the studio, just boom, the album is done!
I had no clue, what happens in the studio, but I like it. The only thing I know is...
It's recorded in Nashville, TN.
It's produced by Bob Ezrin again.
Maybe it's under earMusic label again.
Maybe in spring 2020.
......I have no more info. The opposite of the recording of "Now What" and "Infinite"
Please, give us the title, tracklist in January 2020.
Pleeeeaaaazeeee!
🙏

Re:
Looking forward to this - loved the last two. Bob Ezrin has really helped to bring a late career creative run.
Too much to hope for to see a couple of guest appearances from ex members I guess. If this is to be the last album it would be amazing to see them put aside all the egos and grudges to really pay tribute to the legacy of the band.

After this upcoming successful 21st studio album, there's gonna be a 22nd studio album!!!

Re: IG confirms new album
I'm sure the music will be good but I hope it to have...
a. Masterpiece artwork cover.
b. Gatefold.
c. In 33rpm speed and "not" the 45rpm speed.
d. Available in "Deluxe Box Set" like "Infinite".
e. Available also in colored vinyl.
I'm sure earMusic will do great in this 21st album.
