Repentance features 12 new tracks, from hip hop to electronic sounds, and includes the debut single 'Pum Pum'. a Perry and Andrew W. K production alongside musicians as Moby, guitarist Chris Stein of Blondie, producer Don Fleming and drummer Brian Chippendale of Lightning Bolt, with tracks from artists like M. I. A, American rappers of Spank Rock and UK based electronic band Hot Chip. At 72, Perry delivers a new album, full of contemporary music influences, far from his deep roots Black Ark productions.
Reviews:
Andrew W.K. may just be as crazed and unexpected a collaborator as this eccentric reggae legend could invite in to record with him. And on this, his 54th studio album, the Upsetter and his accomplice have also assembled a diverse supporting cast, including Lightning Bolt’s drummer, Matisyahu’s drummer and Moby.
