AT LONG LAST, Morrissey has announced the official release date for his new album World Peace Is None of Your Business! With the digital release of the title track last night, it was announced that the full album will be out on Harvest Records on July 15. Pre-orders for the album range from the digital version of the album to a deluxe box set version that will include extras like a t-shirt, a customized poster and an AUTOGRAPHED copy of Morrissey‘s Autobiography. To further promote the release of World Peace Is None of Your Business, Mozzer has also released a promo video that co-stars his BFF Nancy Sinatra as he recites the lyrics to the title song. Lots of great Morrissey news today! Woot!!
Morrissey is one of few iconic musicians making radical, counter-cultural work, and Harvest Records is proud to release his latest album on July 15th, 2014. World Peace Is None Of Your Business explores the tragedy of human apathy in our turbulent, modern era. Morrissey’s career as a writer reaches new lyrical heights but maintains his signature humor, drama, and emotional longing. World Peace Is None Of Your Business was produced by Joe Chiccarelli at La Fabrique Studios in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. The video for “World Peace Is None Of Your Business” is the first in a series of spoken-word performances directed by Natalie Johns and filmed at the legendary Capitol Studios. The short film features a cameo by Nancy Sinatra

AHHH!! So exciting!! I REALLY want an autographed copy of Morrissey‘s book so I may go for the deluxe box set bundle but … argh, I already own the UK and US versions of the book. It would just be easier to give Moz all of my money outright. This is all great news. Come July 15, Mozzerians around the world will get a NEW collection of songs to fall in love with.
