Morrissey Believes Capitol Records Is “Sabotaging” His New Album Bonfire Of Teenager he wrote on his website. He hinted the label signed him for that reason alone. The musician is “‘too diverse’ for the Universal Group,” he also explained in the text.
Morrissey signed with Capitol Records in 2021 after being “dropped” by BMG. At the end of 2022, the 63-year-old left Capitol and its management “voluntarily”. Bonfire of Teenager was originally announced for February 2023. Now the record company refuses to release the album or give it back to the singer.
The musician also shared on his website an article from “Medium”, in which the author wrote that Morrissey’s status as an unsigned artist demonstrates “a lack of real diversity” in the music industry. The text shared Morrissey’s views that diversity was “another word for conformity”. “He was constantly criticized and crucified in the press for being outspoken and outspoken. In that sense, it seems like being ‘diverse’ these days really means conforming — or expecting to be rejected,” the author wrote.
