Morrissey Returns: New Album and Doubt

Despite years of cancellations, contradictory statements and label distancing, the great artist Morrissey finally releases a new album, Make-Up Is a Lie. The album, expected on February 27, was produced by Joe Ciccarelli, best known for his work with The White Stripes and The Strokes. His previously released album I Am Not a Dog on a Chain (2020) did not receive critical acclaim, and judging by the lead single, the new project does not portend special surprises. The question of who needs Morrissey now remains open, given his recent creative activism.
