The 2017 album "Savage – Songs from a Broken World" saw Gary Numan exploring a post-apocalyptic, Middle Eastern-influenced soundscape, a stark departure from his earlier synth-pop. It represented a new creative peak for the artist, earning him his highest chart position in decades.
- The album was primarily recorded in Los Angeles and was inspired by Numan's fascination with the effects of climate change and resource scarcity.
- "Savage" debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, Numan's highest charting album since his 1979 number one hit "Replicas".
- The album's sound incorporated elements of industrial music and tribal drumming, creating a grittier, more aggressive tone than much of Numan's previous work.
Gary Numan is a British artist, electronic music pioneer, and synth-pop icon, best known for his early-1980s solo work. Savage – Songs from a Broken World was released in the latter half of his career, following a resurgence in popularity and critical acclaim.
