Destroyed (Moby album)

Destroyed is the tenth studio album by American electronic musician Moby, released in May 2011 by record labels Little Idiot and Mute. A photography book of the same name was released in conjunction with the album.

Recording

The majority of the recording was done while Moby was touring. He'd stay up in his hotel room because of his insomnia and work on music during the late night. He said "it seemed as if everyone else in the world is sleeping." He would take any incomplete tracks back to his apartment, where, using his collection of unique instruments, he would finish them. His friends Emily Zuzik, Inyang Bassey, and Joy Malcom, as well as Moby himself, sang on the record. Musically, Moby summed it up as broken-down melodic electronic music for empty cities at 2 am. He says the title of the album makes sense when he listens to the music.

The song "Rockets" was previously released in 2008 as track 13 on A Night in NYC. That version and the Destroyed version are different.

Song

A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.
