After years away from releasing new music, Morrissey has returned with a fresh single, Make-Up Is A Lie, and the announcement of an album with the same name. The release marks his first major studio project in more than five years.

The album is set to be Morrissey’s first complete collection of new material in over half a decade, a period during which several projects were delayed or quietly disappeared behind the scenes. Make-Up Is A Lie is expected to blend original compositions with at least one unexpected cover, reflecting his long-standing habit of mixing personal storytelling with reinterpretations of older songs. The title track itself introduces the mood of the record: darkly melodic, slightly confrontational, and carried by a rhythm that feels both modern and unmistakably Morrissey. Rather than chasing trends, the song leans into atmosphere and attitude, giving a clear signal of the album’s emotional direction.

Morrissey’s career has always lived somewhere between devotion and debate. From his days as the frontman of The Smiths to his decades as a solo artist, he has built a reputation for lyrics that cut deep and opinions that often divide. Yet even through controversy and long gaps between releases, his influence on alternative and indie music has never truly faded. This new album does not attempt to rewrite his past; instead, it feels like another sharp, uncompromising entry in a body of work that has always refused to play by anyone else’s rules.

This is pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
