Peter Gabriel is dropping his new record o\i one track at a time, timed to every full moon. It's a wild rollout, and it fits a guy who's never done things the easy way. "Face The Wall" is the latest gem, and here Gabriel stares straight down mortality itself.
Last month gave us "Looking For The Happy," a belter about gratitude and, in his words, doing "a little less bitching." This one goes darker. This one goes deeper.
We've watched Gabriel chase big feelings since So back in 1986, when "In Your Eyes" and "Mercy Street" showed how tender a pop giant could get. Us kept that streak alive. Now, decades on, he's still writing tracks that grapple with the heavy stuff without flinching.
The moon cycle release feels ritual, patient, exactly the kind of moment a career artist earns. Each single lands like a small event.
Peter Gabriel is 74 and still swinging for something huge. That should tell you everything.
