The 80’s was a great decade for fun pop music, and the decade is filled with more one-hit wonders than many others. While all of the great releases were happening, a glam-punk popped into the music scene with some catchy songs like White Wedding. Unlike many 80s performers, the glam-punk king, Billy Idol, is still going strong and bringing in several new, younger fans. He has recently released a new album and is on a successful tour to promote it. Let’s take a look at his new album and this great tour.
Billy Idol and the New Album
Billy Idol recently released his newest album in nine years called Kings & Queens of the Underground. The title alone promises a great collection of glam-punk for new and old fans alike. Reviewers state that this album has some incredibly catchy tunes that are quite reminiscent of his older music, and even created lists of everything people should know about it. How is Billy Idol trying to reach younger audiences? He is letting his music take on after the latest punk bands that they are listening to such as Fall Out Boy or Panic! At the Disco. His latest album showcases songs styled in this manner, and, unlike his unsuccessful attempt to sound similar to Green Day, seems to be great for fans.
Billy Idol Releases Music Video
After the release of his new album, Billy Idol also released a music video for the lead single. It is an interesting music video, to say the least, with a dark take on Hollywood. If you are a fan of noir movies or anything that harkens back to those, then this is perfect for you. Listen to his latest single Can’t Break Me Down while enjoying a pretty intriguing video!
Excellent Tour for a Fun Album
Along with this new album comes a new tour, which is proving to be quite the crowd pleaser. While age seems to be catching up with many performers, it is hard to see if it is catching up with Billy Idol. He still has his classic sneer and continues to wear the punk leather and zippers that everyone associates with him. He also refuses to be beaten down by critics and is often responding in his typical glam-punk manner. His tour showcases all of this, as well as his latest album and of course the fun, catchy tunes that everyone can sing along to; whether you are a glam-punk or not, Billy Idol’s tour sure aims to be a fun one for all.
