WHITESNAKE – NEW ALBUM IN MAY
Written by Malcolm Dome on February 14, 2019
Whitesnake are to release new album ‘Flesh & Blood’ through Frontiers on May 10.
This is the first album of all new material from the band since 2011’s ‘Forevermore’. And below is the video for first single ‘Shut Up & Kiss Me’.
Says mainman David Coverdale: “After the intense darkness of our last video ‘Burn’ If anything, it’s ‘light’ snake, you know? We’ve got some really dark energy going on in the world right now, so we’re gonna write & record a fun, knees up, song about falling in love with a fabulous babe. You’re over-talking, over-compensating & she just looks at you, takes the reins & says, ‘Shut Up and Kiss Me!’ and that’s it!! My video director and creative partner Tyler Bourns and I discussed a great storyline for the video, which involves a surprise guest: my fabulous old white Jaguar. We ended up cleaning and detailing it, as it has been in storage since I moved to Lake Tahoe, then we dusted off my old turquoise silk jacket from the original ‘Here I Go Again’ video and I was thinking, “man, this is going to be fun!” It’s a respectful acknowledgment and positive nod to the past, just fun stuff.”
The album will be available on various CD, vinyl and digital formats.
