Morrissey has today released new single ‘Love Is On Its Way Out’. The song opens with a beat that is immediately captivating. Morrissey’s timeless and distinctive vocals are provocatively hypnotising over mystical riffs that create a beautiful audio landscape that culminate in a breath catching symphony.

The album, produced by Grammy award winning producer Joe Chicarelli (Beck, Tori Amos, The Strokes, The Killers, The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, etc), and recorded at Studio La Fabrique in Saint- Rémy de Provence, France, and Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, also saw it’s first single, ‘Bobby Don’t You Think They Know?’, featuring backing vocals by legendary R+B Icon Thelma Houston, released to great critical and fan response.
In addition, Morrissey’s cover of Roy Orbison’s 60’s classic – ‘It’s Over’ enjoyed a #1 chart position on the UK Vinyl Singles chart this month.
