Morrissey will release his new album ‘Make-Up is a Lie' on 6th March 2026, and today he's unveiled the title track from the collection.
‘Make-Up is a Lie' is Morrissey's first album in over five years and it marks a return to Sire Records / Warner Records. You can pre-order and pre-save it now. Take a listen to the title track below:
‘Make-Up is a Lie' reunites Morrissey with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Stripes) as he returns to Studio La Fabrique in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence region of Southern France. With poetic and provocative lyrics, evocatively unpredictable instrumentation, and a title that can be read as an explicit call for unvarnished truth and expression.
The album’s first single is co-written by Morrissey and it weaves a curious tale of a woman who keeps desperately trying to deliver him a message, even in death.
Morrissey is joined on the album by a familiar cast of characters and bandmates, including Jesse Tobias, Camila Grey, Carmen Vandenberg, Juan Galeano, Alain Whyte, Gustavo Manzur, and Brendan Buckley. The tracklist includes some song titles previously referenced by Morrissey and others never before revealed, as well as a faithful cover of Roxy Music’s 1973 deep cut ‘Amazona'.
‘Make-Up is a Lie' will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally, through all DSP’s. Vinyl album variants include Blue vinyl and a unique Zoetrope picture disc. A Red vinyl pressing will be available exclusively through all Indie retail stores.
