Après is the seventeenth studio album by American rock singer Iggy Pop. Consisting of mostly French covers, it was released on 9 May 2012 on Thousand Mile Inc after the album was rejected by Virgin EMI Records. Pop said his record company would have 'preferred that I do a rock album with popular punks' and that "They didn't think they would make any money, they didn't think my fans would like it - very sensible attitudes for a sensible sort of person - but that's a different sort of person than am."
The album has been described as containing 'Crooning vocals, Cole Porter covers, soft melodies, and an all-around sense of everything suave.
When asked by Bill Flanagan if he had heard any good records lately, Bob Dylan mentioned Après.
