Avenue B is Iggy Pop's twelfth solo studio album, released on July 13, 1999. It was primarily recorded at The Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, New York, with production shared between Iggy Pop, Thom Wilson, and Don Was. The album represents a turn towards a more experimental and melancholic sound, influenced by jazz and electronic music.
The album includes notable collaborations, such as the participation of jazz group Medeski Martin & Wood on several tracks. The song 'Corruption' was released as a single, and the album received generally positive reviews, although some punk rock fans of Iggy Pop were puzzled by its eclectic style. The cover shows Iggy Pop on a New York street.
Avenue B did not achieve major commercial success, but it has been considered a transitional work in Iggy Pop's career, showing his willingness to explore new musical territories. The title refers to Avenue B in Manhattan's Lower East Side, where Iggy Pop resided for a time.
