Morrissey has shared the tracklist for his new album.
The former Smiths singer revealed last week that he has signed with Sire Records and although it was believed he would release his much-delayed album, Bonfire of Teenagers, on the new label, the tracklisting appears to be for a completely new record.
The list of 12 song titles – shared on his Instagram account – does not include Rebels Without Applause, the one single released from Bonfire Of Teenagers in 2022.
The new list includes The Monsters Of Pig Alley, Headache, Make-Up Is A Lie, The Night Pop Dropped, You’re Right It’s Time, Kerching Kerching, Zoom Zoom The Little Boy, Lester Bangs, Boulevard, Many Icebergs Ago, Amazona and Notre-Dame.
He included the logo for Sire Records on his post.
Morrissey’s career has faced difficulties in recent years.
Record label BMG cut ties with him in November 2020 – a decision the singer said was linked to the company’s “new plans for diversity”.
He completed his 14th solo album, Bonfire of Teenagers, in 2021, with its title track referencing the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.
Although initially due for release under Capitol Records in February 2023, Morrissey said at the end of 2022 he had “voluntarily” parted ways with both the label and his management, and claimed the record was being withheld.
Last year, he revealed he had completed a second new album that he has been unable to release.
He told Medium: “The second one was re-recorded in France in late 2023, and given a new title. We scrapped half of the tracks and we recorded six new ones, and so it is not the album from the beginning of 2023.”
