Thought it might be handy to have a thread which brings together all the scraps of info about the new album.
I've gleaned a few things in recent months. To wit;
Since ROTT, we've become aware of 17 new songs (I think). 12 on the Warner Chapell site, the two new ones on Greatest Hits, two previewed live ('One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell' and 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris'), and the near-legendary 'Children in Pieces' (which has been known about, musically at least, since the ROTT era).
The 12 Warner Chapell songs were written by Alain Whyte, 'All You Need Is Me' by Tobias, the others by Boz (not sure about Children in Pieces).
The new single has 'Children in Pieces' and 'My Dearest Love' (one of the 12 new Moz/Whyte Warner Chapell songs) on the b-sides.
This leaves 13 unreleased songs for the new album (plus b-sides), four of which we've heard live (Squeezing my Skull, Mama, Paris, and One Day Goodbye). 11 are Morrissey/Whyte and 2 are Morrissey/Boorer.
All of the new songs were produced by Finn with additional production (on at least two) by Gustavo Santaolalla (he of the 'cosmic tango vibe').
The new album is due in autumn (possibly September).
That's pretty much all I'm aware of but may well have got my facts confused!
Any corrections/additional info etc appreciated.
Cheers.
