Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover said in an interview with Anssi Herkkola that the band will try to do a new album in 2021. The band released last August "Whoosh!", their latest work that had a good recption by critics and fans. Roger Glover says Deep Purple will try to make a new album in 2021: "All this COVID situation has meant that we can't tour. We're twiddling our thumbs, really, for over a year, and the idea was to possibly go back in and do another album. And so we're just working towards that. It's so quick after we'd done the last album, [and] maybe that will spoil things, but we're gonna try and do another album at some point next year. We're experimenting with stuff." https://youtu.be/ldMNQoV9YCs Earlier this year, Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan talked about the band's latest album "Whoosh!" in an official statement, saying: “It’s nice, to be honest. I feel like we’re back in the ’70s. There’s this energy that’s quite fascinating to me. How does it feel? It feels good because we had a lot of fun making this record.” “We spent five or six days in Germany earlier this year. Then we went to Nashville for two and a half weeks where we did the writing and arrangements. It was remarkably quick. Then I rented a cottage on the banks of the Cumberland River, overlooking the Grand Ole Opry.” “So I can hear the music floating from across the river until the early hours of the morning. And then I would sit up all through the night and write in this magical atmosphere. How do I feel? Pretty good. It’s nice when you finish a project and you’re happy with the result.”
