Foo Fighters' New Album Is Another Version Of David Bowie's Let's Dance
JAKARTA - Foo Fighters will release a new album. Recently frontman Dave Grohl said the album is another version of David Bowie's Let's Dance album.
The American hard rock group confirmed that they had completed their tenth studio album in February.
In an interview with his mother, Virginia, for the Mother's Day program on radio station LA ALT 98.7 FM, Grohl revealed more details about the upcoming record.
"This album is very good, we can't wait for people to hear it, we are very excited to go on tour and play it," he said. Launched NME, Wednesday, May 15.
"In it there are anthemic rock songs, hard rock, sing-along rock songs. This is a kind of dance album, but not EDM, disco, modern dance album. There is a groove. For me, this is David Bowie's Let's Dance album. our version. That's what we wanted to make, it's a fun album. "
The vocalist previously said that the new Foo Fighters album was different from the previous albums.
"There are a lot of choruses on this album that will make 50,000 people sing, and it will unite everyone's hearts when they hear it," he said.
The band also claims that the recording process was plagued by ghosts. The album was recorded at a 1940's home in Encino, California, where they immediately noticed a "dormant vibration" when their instruments became out of sync and the tracks they had recorded were mysteriously erased.
Meanwhile, Grohl recently recalled a time when Bowie refused to collaborate with him on a song for a film soundtrack. At that time Bowie just said 'fuck it'.
"David Bowie provided an indelible addition to the soundtrack of my life from an early age," Grohl wrote on Dave's True Story Instagram account.
“My first live album, David Live I played frequently in my living room when I was a kid, and his classic song Suffragette City was quite popular at the backyard parties I played with my nerdy high school band in the early 80s (I sang backing vocals for 'Hey Man!' with the best pre-pubescent screech I could possibly get out of my thin little neck). "
Grohl then remembers working on the song Jewel for Reeves Gabrel's 1999 solo record, Ulysses (Della Notte), and the last time he spoke to Bowie before he died.
The vocalist said he asked Bowie to take part in a song that Grohl was preparing for the film. But Bowie said it was "none of his business".
