2008 wird ein Morrissey Jahr
Auszug aus den Pressemitteilungen zum Deal
Morrissey has signed an exclusive world-wide recording contract with Decca.
With the signing, Decca reenter the credible Pop market as a label historically associated with artists such as The Rolling Stones, Small Faces, Marianne Faithfull and Them.
All releases will be marketed and promoted through Polydor UK.
The first release under this new contract will be a Greatest Hits album of Morrissey solo material with two new songs in February 2008 which will follow a 6 night run of sold-out shows in January at London’s legendary Roundhouse.
Morrissey is currently recording a new studio album in LA, working once again with Jerry Finn, the producer of 2004’s widely acclaimed UK No. 2 album You Are The Quarry. The as yet untitled new album will be released in Autumn 2008.
Morrissey:
„I am delighted to be part of the Decca and Polydor family and am very excited about the new singles and albums we are going to do together in 2008″.
David Joseph, President of Universal Music Operations:
“I’ve heard the new songs and Morrissey’s new music quite simply speaks for itself. We are very excited at the prospect of working with one of the UK’s most creative and unique artists.”
