Morrissey 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' Video
Morrissey’s new studio album “Years of Refusal” will be released on 16th February 2009 on Polydor, preceded by the single “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris” one week prior. The single will be supported by two new songs “Because Of My Poor Education” and “Shame Is The Name”, the latter featuring additional vocals by Chrissie Hynde.
“Years of Refusal” was completed earlier this year at Conway Studios in LA with the late Jerry Finn, producer of Morrissey’s acclaimed 2004 UK No.2 album “You Are The Quarry”. Morrissey describes the new album, the follow up to 2006’s “Ringleader of The Tormentors” (a UK No.1), as his strongest work to date. The 12-track album includes a clutch of new songs played live in recent months including “I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris”, “Something Is Squeezing My Skull”, “Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed” and “One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell”.
As part of his ‘Tour of Refusal’ world tour kicking off in the US in February, Morrissey will play the UK in May with five London dates including the Royal Albert Hall, Brixton o2 Academy and Mile End Troxy Ballroom. Morrissey will be joined on the UK run and select European dates by special guest Doll & The Kicks.
