Longstanding UK glam metal act Whitesnake have just announced the release of their forthcoming record Flesh & Blood. The news arrived with the release of the records first single ‘Shut Up & Kiss Me’, and an accompanying music video.
Flesh & Blood, is set for release on May 10th. It is the first new full-length from Whitesnake since 2011’s Forevermore. The 13-track album was produced by Whitesnake guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra. It was recorded at frontman Dave Coverdale’s home studio in Lake Tahoe.
In an interview with Billboard, Coverdale has delved into the meaning of the new video. Sharing that it pays homage to the era where Whitesnake were played on high-rotation on MTV:
“This is much more of a lite-Snake kind of video, in that it’s fun stuff” Coverdale explained. “We’d releases a very dark, intense video for the song ‘Burn’ from The Purple Album (in 2015). This has the same sense of fun we had back in the halcyon MTV days. The people who are coming to the club and see (the car) are going, ‘Omigod! That’s the Whitesnake Jag!’ and having their pictures and stuff taken with it. It’s just a lot of fun.”
