A single, with the very Morrissey title of \u201cMake-Up Is a Lie,\u201d\u00a0arrived this morning, and you can hear it below. The song, co-written with keyboardist Camila Grey, leads an album of the same name that marks Morrissey\u2019s return to the Warner label <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.sirerecords.com\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.sirerecords.com\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sirerecords.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sire<\/a> and his reunion with producer Joe Chiccarelli. That\u2019s out March 6. Check out the tracklist, which includes a cover of <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/artists\/6054-roxy-music\/\">Roxy Music<\/a>\u2019s \u201cAmazona,\u201d below, along with the album art.<\/p>\n<p>The status of new Morrissey music has been up in the air for years. He has recently been teasing a pair of albums, neither of which is called <em>Make-Up Is a Lie<\/em>. One, <em>Bonfire of Teenagers,<\/em> features Chad Smith, Flea, and Iggy Pop, and, <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/music\/news\/morrissey-interview-bonfire-of-teenagers-release\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/music\/news\/morrissey-interview-bonfire-of-teenagers-release\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/music\/news\/morrissey-interview-bonfire-of-teenagers-release\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to Morrissey<\/a>, every major label that hears it considers it a masterpiece but is too scared to release it, because of Morrissey\u2019s politics. The other record is titled <em>You\u2019re Right, It\u2019s Time<\/em>. Morrissey launched his last album, <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/morrissey-i-am-not-a-dog-on-a-chain\/\"><em>I Am Not a Dog on a Chain<\/em><\/a>, in 2020, with a campaign that closely followed his <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/morrissey-wears-far-right-political-party-pin-on-fallon\/\">endorsement<\/a> of far-right political party For Britain Movement on <em>Fallon<\/em>.
