Morrissey – Make-Up Is A Lie

Description

Morrissey announces Make-Up Is A Lie, his fourteenth solo studio album and a renewed collaboration with producer Joe Chiccarelli. Recorded at Studio La Fabrique in southern France, the album brings together a trusted circle of bandmates for a set that leans into poetic confrontation, shifting moods and an instinct for the unexpected. The title track sets the tone. Co-written with Camila Grey, Make-up is a Lie moves on a low-slung, trip-hop pulse before opening into a dream-pop sweep, with Morrisseys vocal drifting between intimacy and accusation. Its narrative – part obsession, part ghost story – captures the albums broader fascination with truth, performance and emotional disguise. Across twelve songs, Make-Up Is A Lie balances evocative arrangements with lyrics that cut sharply and linger. Its a record that values atmosphere as much as statement, pairing restless instrumentation with a voice that remains unmistakable and unfiltered. The album also includes a considered reinterpretation of Roxy Musics Amazona, woven naturally into a collection that feels both familiar and newly charged. Released via Sire / Warner Records, Make-Up Is A Lie stands as a focused, characterful addition to Morrisseys catalogue.
