Iggy Pop Releases New Single “Strung Out Johnny”

“Strung Out Johnny” from Iggy Pop’s upcoming album, Every Loser, has been released.

Andrew Watt, the producer who co-wrote Patient Number 9 with Ozzy Osbourne, is the same producer of Iggy Pop’s Every Loser. The album is set to be available in the stores starting January 6.

With the help of Atlantic and Gold Tooth Records, a brand-new label Watt and he co-founded, Every Loser marks his first material after Free in 2019. Pop previously stated:

“Andrew and Gold Tooth know that I’m the man with no shirt who rocks, and we recorded an album together the old-fashioned way. The music will beat the shit out of you. The players are guys I’ve known since they were kids.”

The late Taylor Hawkins was one of those players who contributed to some of his songs. Pop recalled:

“I met him when I opened for Foo Fighters in 2015 at Knebworth.

“When I stood there on the side stage and paid attention to that thing and what he was playing, it was otherworldly. It was sophisticated, powerful, relentless, and highly detailed all at once. I never really understood what they did before.”

Other guests on Every Loser include Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The two are also set to join Pop for a limited run of live dates for his 2023 tour. Watt said in a previous statement:

“Iggy Pop is a fucking icon – a true original, the guy invented the stage dive.

“I still can’t believe he let me make a record with him. I am honored. It doesn’t get cooler. This album was created to be played as loud as your stereo will go. Turn it up, and hold on.”
