Johnny Marr New Album
Tell Us About It
Johnny Marr has released his first album in about 4 years on New Voodoo Records. The album titled Fever Dreams Pt 1-4 was mainly written during the lockdown. A period when every artist had that time to get creative, his time was clearly not wasted..

The album consists of 16 songs featuring the singles Spirit Power & Soul, and Lightning People. Which both reached No.1 in the UK's Vinyl Charts. The Speed Of Love, and Gods Gift are to be released shortly.. The album itself reached the highest of any of his previous solo work by reaching No.4 in the UK charts..
Personal tip.. One of my favourites was his first solo album Boomslang.. Which featured Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's Son) who's dad we all know but is an amazing drummer in his own right. Playing with artists such as Oasis, Paul Weller and The Who to name a few.. Also in the band known as Johnny Marr & The Healers was Alonza Bevan the former Kula Shaker bass player.

How Has The Album Gone Down..
On the whole the album has received some very good reviews. Here are few from various media outlets..
'Marr trades post-punk guitar for energetic electro-indie in a hopeful, pandemic-processing 16-track opus'
THE GUARDIAN
'Most of music's greats eventually flounder, but Marr remains purposeful'
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
'It's Marr's restlessly prolific spirit that drives 'Fever Dreams Pt 1-4.. This album is the work of a man with no time for big cash reunions or the squabbling that prevents them. Instead, he has turned in a record fuelled by soul and new ideas'
NME
'Like the post-pandemic age, you never know what's coming next'
THE INDEPENDENT
'Fever Dreams is too long, uniform and persistent to enjoy in one sitting'
MOJO
The album Fever Dreams Pt1-4 is available now from all good stockists
