Mozza, Jarvis And U2 Contribute To New Sinatra Album
Morrissey, Jarvis Cocker and U2’s Bono and The Edge have been confirmed to head-up a stellar line-up of songwriters and collaborators for the new Nancy Sinatra album. Jon Spencer and Pete Yorn have also penned tracks.
The album, titled ‘To Nancy, With Love’ and set to be released September 28, will also feature songs written by Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, "Little" Steve Van Zandt and Calexico.
A single, Morrissey’s ‘Let Me Kiss You’, will be released September 14 and features the man himself on backing vocals.
Sinatra described Thurston Moore's song ‘Momma's Boy’ as "kind of spooky and dark" while she tells Billboard that Van Zandt's ‘Baby Please Don't Go’ is "a rocker, and I think it's one of his best ever".
Sinatra previewed some of the tracks at her recent Meltdown show at London's Royal Festival Hall including ‘Let Me Kiss You’, ‘Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad’ (the song composed by Bono and The Edge) and ‘About A Fire’.
