The first single of the album called ‘Throw My Bones’ was released on March 20 in the official EarMusic YouTube page.

Deep Purple’s current lineup consists of Ian Pace, Roger Glover, Ian Gillan, Steve Morse and Don Airey.

According to the information in the official website of the band, the album will be available as Limited DC+DVD Mediabook, which will include an hour-long discussion between Roger Glover and Bob Ezrin and, for the first time, the full live performance at Hellfest 2017 as video. Other purchase options will be in a 2LP+DVD Edition, Limited Box Set and as a Digital copy.

The band’s motto for ‘Whoosh!‘ is “Deep Purple is putting the ‘Deep’ back in Purple“.

Discussing with NME recently about the upcoming seventh album, and his own solo work, the lead songwriter explained that work had already begun. He described his creative process in the making of the new music.

“If something feels good, then you should follow the art,” he said. “Great zones don’t come from comfort zones. This feels great now, and it’s great that I’ve got the time to do it.”

He added. “Kasabian is a huge machine that we’ve created. There’s a routine and you’re safe in that place, but you need something else to happen. Sometimes there needs to be a storm in the harbour. You need for everyone to go, ‘Woah, what’s going on?’ When the day breaks, you see the clarity”.

The photo features Skepta and Pharrell looking down at a mixing table in the studio with the caption “You know who’s on production. Wow.” in case you don’t know what the back of Pharrells head looks like, Skepta has kindly tagged him on Instagram. You can see the photo below:

Skepta has been making a lot of waves over in America this year. He and Drake have been giving shout outs to one another for some time now – with Drake referencing ‘That’s not me’ on ‘Used to’, Skepta sampling a Vine of Drake’s in ‘Shutdown’ and Drake bringing on Skepta for his Wireless set earlier this year. Recently though Skepta was playing shows and New York and giving out tapes of his latest mixtape, which he recorded with DJ Tim Westwood.
