Moby He said in Mexico City that on his new album 'Innocents', which will be released in October, opted to make "weird music with friends" like Mark Lanegan, rather than chasing the top of the charts. The New York musician, whose real name is Richard Melville, participated in the Tag DF technology festival, two days after he announced on his website the release of his new album.
The new 12-song compilation has kept him busy for the past 18 months, enlisting the help of Mike "Spike" Stent, a producer who has worked with artists such as Muse, Bjork and Massive Attack. The tour of what will be his eleventh album, available on iTunes and of which the first published singles are "The Lonely Night" (two months ago, with Mark Lanegan) and recently "A Case for Shame" (with Canadian Cold Specks), It will consist of three performances in Los Angeles, where he lives. The new work, recorded in his bedroom studio, will be accompanied by photographs taken by the author himself, a fan of this art since he was a child.
The 47-year-old singer admitted at the festival in Mexico that no one buys the albums anymore, and he doesn't expect them to, but that he continues to create them because he "loves it."
«The fact of composing and that people listen to me is something wonderful»
Said Moby, already with more than 20 years of career and millions of copies sold around the world, who found an inspiration to dedicate himself to music when listening to his 10 years "Live and Let Die", by Paul McCartney.
"How can this little piece of plastic move me so much," wondered Moby, for whom music is "very powerful" and who went from bands to being a soloist after getting tired of "waiting for the other musicians to appear."
