Depeche Mode star Dave Gahan is back with his new Soulsavers album ‘Imposter’.
The singer-songwriter has reunited with longtime musical partner Rich Machin for the project, due November 12, which sees the star “take listeners on a personal journey of 12 meticulously chosen reimagined songs from across genres and time periods”.
It includes selections from Neil Young, Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, Charlie Chaplin, Cat Power and Mark Lanegan, amongst others.
“When I listen to other people’s voices and songs—more importantly the way they sing them and interpret the words—I feel at home,” says Dave. “I identify with it. It comforts me more than anything else.
“There’s not one performer on the record who I haven’t been moved by,” he adds. “I know we made something special, and I hope other people feel that and it takes them on a little kind of trip—especially people who love music and have for years.”
The first offering from ‘Imposter’, a cover of Cat Power’s Metal Heart, will drop on October 8.
‘Imposter’ is available to pre-save/add. Pre-order links to follow.
