Moby's 11th studio album to date proves an uncompromised, fully realized work from one of the most iconoclastic, innovative, individual forces in electronic music or popular music, period. Moby sees this as a lo-fidelity, idiosyncratic, emotional, melodic record and says "I'm most interested in exploring vulnerability and humanity in music, and with Innocents I made a conscious effort to keep things imperfect and, at times, even awkward. My criteria was, how does what I'm creating resonate emotionally, and what sense of space does it create?" to achieve that perfectly imperfect state, Moby chose to work with an outside producer for the first time in his career: Mark "Spike" Stent, whose Grammy-studded resume spans superstar pop (Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonci), rock (U2, Bruce Springsteen, Muse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and the genre-defying vanguard (Bjvrk, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, M.I.A.). Another first marked by Innocents was Moby's unexpected choice of collaborators. Working with outside vocalists and musicians isn't a new thing for Moby (see "South Side," featuring vocals by Gwen Stefani). on INNOCENTS he taps Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips), Cold Specks, Mark Lanegan, Damien Juradio and Skylar Grey to sing lead vocals.
