"Bobby, Don't You Think They Know?" release (Jan. 10, 2020); album sleeve revealed?

Some people reporting 'Bobby Don't You Think They Know' is on YouTube now, which would be the first from the forthcoming album.
I was sent this link:

But it isn't working for me. Got 9 views though.
E: Looks like the release date is 10/01/2020, as Anonymous suggested, which is why it is currently available in Australia.

Morrissey drops duet with Motown star Thelma Houston - The List

Excerpt:

Morrissey recruited Grammy-winning Motown star Thelma Houston for the epic duet, who said: "One of the biggest joys for me in this business is getting the opportunity to collaborate with other top artists.

"I love the challenge to see if what I do can work with what they're doing. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

"I think the blend of what Morrissey is singing and what I'm singing really works on 'Bobby'.

"And it was a lot of fun working with M in the studio too!"

The 'Mute Witness' singer's long-time producer, Joe Chicarelli, has teased that the upcoming LP, which is released via BMG on March 20, is "the boldest and most adventurous" record ever recorded by Morrissey.

He added: "I have now produced four studio albums for Morrissey.

"This is his boldest and most adventurous album yet.

"He has pushed the boundaries yet again – both musically and lyrically.

"And once again proving that as a songwriter and singer, he is in his own category. In truth, no one can be Morrissey but ... Morrissey!"

Saying that in January is a bold and depressing statement. If this is the best song in 2020 then music is dead.

You can’t take his comments seriously, they come from a place of overwhelming bias. Anything Moz does is the best thing since sliced bread in Thewlis’ opinion. You can’t trust that type of judgement, nor respect those kind of opinions.
 
There’s no talking to these people, their minds are set before they’ve heard it. It’s AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!! It didn’t matter if it was just sound effects of Moz farting on the toilet, it would’ve been a hit for Thewlis and his ilk. It’s just hard headed fanatical delusional, Thewlis showcased it perfectly by saying it’ll be the best song of 2020! Absolute crazy! :crazy:
don't tell me,you didn't like it.

Ordinarydrunk strikes o_O
 
What kind of people celeberate such a tuneless romp?
Every B-side from the 90s was better than this "single, including "Journalists who lie".
Chiccarelli has done nothing to improve the whole Morrissey sound.
The break in the middle is the only interesting part of this crap song.
I listend 3 times and have no desire to listen again.
That's shame concerning your once favourite artist.

Wank & Olden...still harking back to the 90's...if you don't like it, then don't listen to it.
Thanks for your review tho :squiffy:
 
It's the best sounding song that he's recorded in a long time...
Some of the posters on this board only serve to prove that the empty vessel makes the most noise.
What a poor figure you are to call a critic a troll and then write such pathetic news yourself.

Fortunately, there are still a few people who can put the artistic course of Morrissey's career into perspective. Thanks for that.
 
Lord have mercy, just when i thought it couldn't get any worse Morrissey releases a song with Christina Aguilera, an organ solo and a sax solo. I listened to this abomination three times now, twice yesterday and once today and it really is a new low. I don't want to blame the singer too much, she's obviously a good singer if you like that type of stuff and the song would probably sound better with just her singing it and no Morrissey. The combination just doesn't work at all and makes Morrissey sound even more old and tired and uninspired. No melody to his lines at all! Such a shame when in a lot of live shows he proves that his voice can still sound great. The lyrics are off-the-charts horrible lazy nonsense like on his last two albums. The backing track sounds exactly like a previous poster remarked: like an inbuilt backingtrack from a yamaha keyboard with the stupid little drums. Abysmal! Can't wait to hear the whole album!!
 
I don't recall ever posting something like this before - but he really should give Alain a call.
 
I think it's not bad. It's a little soupy - the arrangement is too cluttered and the keyboards are all wrong, which is a shame because with a sharper arrangment it could have had a really good groove. And it's way too long - there's not enough happening to warrant the length. But the vocals are good and it's way better than anything on LIHS. I would love to see him do a live - shorter - version of this with Thelma, ie an actual, proper duet, and see if they can get some chemistry going. That would be worth seeing.
 
don't tell me,you didn't like it.

it’s better than any other single in the last 5 years. But that’s like saying Fred West was a lovely bloke compared to Harold Shipman. Shit is shit, no matter much sweeter is smells than the last one.

You should always judge an artist by his highest standards. Compared to Morrissey’s best work, this track is a 5/10 at best. All the singles off LIHS were 1 & 2’s out of 10.

I’m not getting my hopes up yet but I’m slightly more optimistic about this new album having heard this track. But again, that’s only cos the last 3 have been shockers.

alain was slated in the other thread about his awful lyrics,off to find this ghost track,going to bug me.listened to bobby again through my Huawei p30 with dolby atmos.sounds fantastic.
 
Yeah, I'm not thinking Morrissey should call Alain about lyrics.

fred west was a lovely bloke,met him before the killings started,very charitable.he was asking me if I knew where ordinary boy lived,wouldnt entertain him.
 
I’ve had the song in my head all morning, especially the “oh the pleasure you bring for us” part.
