Après is a studio album of mostly French covers by Iggy Pop.[1] It was released on 9 May 2012 on Thousand Mile Inc [2] after the album was rejected by Virgin EMI Records.[3] Pop described the album's rejection as 'humiliating', saying that his record company would have 'preferred that I do a rock album with popular punks'. The album has been described as containing 'Crooning vocals, Cole Porter covers, soft melodies, and an all-around sense of everything suave.'.[4]
