Alice Cooper has celebrated his 73rd birthday with the release of a new single.
Social Debris is the latest taster of the rock icon's forthcoming LP, 'Detroit Stories', due out on February 26.
Following up the previously shared cuts Rock'n'Roll and Our Love Will Change The World, the track rolls out over a muscular groove and is available to download from Cooper's official website for the next 24 hours. He said:
"The single Social Debris is a gift to Detroit, to my fans and to myself. The track was written by the original Alice Cooper band. We never thought that we would ever fit in; the Alice Cooper band didn’t fit in with anybody, because we were doing things that no other band did. We didn’t fit in with the folk scene, we didn’t fit in with the metal scene, we really didn’t fit in with anything that was going on at that time. We just always felt like we were outsiders. We felt like we were social debris, we were in our own little world. So Social Debris was just the original band writing a song about us, essentially. And it came out sounding like it belonged into 1971. That’s just the original band – you can’t change that, it’s great."
Cooper's 21st studio record was produced by longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin. It follows up his 2019 'Breadcrumbs' EP and his 2017 full-length 'Paranormal'. In spring 2020, he dropped the single Don't Give Up in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
