As opening lines go āI donāt care, I know youāre going to hate this song, and thatās fair we never really got alongāĀ from The Whoās new single āAll This Music Must FadeāĀ is perhaps the most confrontational and catchy of 2019 so far.Ā āAll This Music Must Fadeā is available now at allĀ digital retailers.Ā Pre-orderĀ the new album, WHO, now.
The song, which debuted on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show yesterday, opens theĀ WHOĀ album and Pete Townshend describes it as āA song is dedicated to every artist who has ever been accused of ripping off someone elseās song. Seriously? Our musical palette is limited enough in the 21stĀ Century without some dork claiming to have invented a common chord schemeā.
The Who has one of the greatest rock legacies in music history, theyāre one of the all-time great live bands, have sold over 100 million records worldwide including 9 US & 10 UK top ten albums and 14 UK top ten singles in a career spanning six decades.
Now Fifty-five years after they made their first recordings, The Who is back with their first new album in thirteen years entitledĀ WHOĀ due for release on December 6, 2019.
The eleven-track album was mostly recorded in London and Los Angeles during Spring and Summer 2019 and was co-produced by Pete Townshend & D. Sardy (who has worked with Noel Gallagher, Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, Gorillaz) with vocal production by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Roger Daltrey, Wilko Johnson).
Singer Roger Daltrey and guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend are joined on the album by long-time Who drummer Zak Starkey, bassist Pino Palladino along with contributions from Simon Townshend, Benmont Tench, drummers Carla Azar and Joey Waronker, bass player Gus Seyffert and Gordon Giltrap.
The album cover has been created by famed pop artist, Sir Peter Blake who first met the band in 1964 at a taping of the legendary TV show Ready Steady Go. Sir Peter designed and contributed a painting to the sleeve of The Whoās album Face Dances in 1981.
The songs onĀ WHOĀ cover a myriad of subjects including the Grenfell Tower fire, musical theft, spirituality, reincarnation, the power of memory and āan old rock star that has lost his marblesā. Singer Roger Daltrey rates it amongst their strongest āI think weāve made our best album since Quadrophenia in 1973, Pete hasnāt lost it, heās still a fabulous songwriter, and heās still got that cutting edgeā.
After their triumphant return to Wembley Stadium in the Summer, the band will be embarking on a UK tour featuring a full orchestra in Spring 2020, the dates are listed below.
