Le Regard Libre N\u00b0 67<\/a> - Max Moeschler<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty-two years into their prolific career, and in the context of such an eventful year, it's hard to take up the challenge of a twenty-first studio album. But the legendary rockers of Deep Purple have done it with their latest album opus<\/em>, entitled Whoosh!<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first thing to notice, even before you start listening to the British combo's latest work: Whoosh!<\/em> is a rather long album with thirteen tracks, but made up of relatively short titles. Most of them barely exceed four minutes. Not that fans<\/em> of the first hour, there's an immediate desire to move away from the band's historical roots, which were all about long tracks. If this trend had already begun with previous albums, there's no doubt that the band has no intention of turning back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

We enter the heart of the matter with the surprising Throw My Bones<\/em>, whose riff funky<\/em> and the catchy chorus are instant hits. Ian Gillan's vocals are immediately apparent, as is the powerful, polished production by Bob Ezrin, a renowned producer and arranger who has worked with Kiss, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd and Alice Cooper, among others. The album continues with Drop The Weapon<\/em>, which quickly returns to more traditional sounds. bluesy<\/em> before taking the listener on a more pop-influenced journey with We're All The Same In The Dark<\/em> and its unifying choirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
