New Blood, the new studio album by Peter Gabriel, has been released on October 10, 2011. The album does not contain new material, it consists instead of orchestral re-recordings of songs chosen from Gabriel's solo career. New Blood is ideally a continuation of the project Gabriel began with his previous album Scratch My Back (2010), which contained orchestral covers by Gabriel of other artists and bands' songs. "No drums, no guitars" and two special guests at vocals; the Norwegian singer and musician Ane Brun and Gabriel's daughter Melanie, who will soon put his father in the... grandfather position. Recently interviewed on various media, Gabriel also "promised" that from January 2012 he will start to concentrate on writing brand new songs, but no hurry, Mr. Gabriel to use his words, is a "slow and happy artist".
