"Produced by previous collaborator Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket), Make-Up Is a Lie was recorded at Studio La Fabrique in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence region of Southern France. A press release describes the record as an exploration of "poetic and provocative lyrics" and "evocatively unpredictable instrumentation," with a title meant to be "an explicit call for unvarnished truth and expression.""
"Get Morrissey Tickets Here The project arrives after Morrissey claimed his shelved album, Bonfire of Teenagers, was intentionally sabotaged by Capitol Records. In 2024, he said "nobody" will release his music due to the war on "free speech" in England. "Make-Up Is a Lie" was co-written with Morrissey's keyboardist Camila Grey, centering on a woman who haunts The Smiths co-founder from the afterlife. "10 years passed in boredom," he sings. "I made my way to Paris/ To stand before her gravestone/ I read the words in granite.""
Morrissey will release Make-Up Is a Lie on February 27, marking his return to Sire/Warner Records after about three decades. The album was produced by Joe Chiccarelli and recorded at Studio La Fabrique in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Southern France. The songs feature poetic and provocative lyrics alongside evocatively unpredictable instrumentation, and the title signals a call for unvarnished truth and expression. The title track, co-written with keyboardist Camila Grey, centers on a woman who haunts Morrissey from the afterlife. A short string of US dates begins this weekend, followed by a Dominican Republic show and European/UK concerts. Public data indicate Morrissey has completed roughly 70% of scheduled concerts over the last decade-plus. His previous album, I Am Not a Dog on a Chain, was released in 2020.
