New Marianne Faithfull tracks to be released
Four new songs by Marianne Faithfull, the English singer best known for the 1960s hit As Tears Go By and who died earlier this year, will be released this summer, her son said on Friday. Faithfull, one of the most colourful personalities of London's Swinging '60s, endured homelessness, drug addiction and cancer before she passed away aged 78 in January. As the former girlfriend of the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger, Faithfull gained notoriety for her escapades in the era of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but she also released 21 solo albums, won a Grammy nomination and had a film acting career. Faithfull had worked on the new recordings over the past year. They were inspired by her first two albums from 1965 and due to be revealed last month but plans were put on hold following her death, Decca Records said. "Marianne lived to create and perform music – it was her driving force and she never stopped," her son Nicholas Dunbar said in a statement. "Right up until the end she was looking forward to this release which now completes and celebrates her remarkable artistic career." Burning Moonlight, one of the new songs, which also gives its title to the EP, was inspired by the opening line of As Tears Go By. It was released on Friday, while the full digital EP will be released on June 6. "It's a good time to look back," Faithfull had said after completing the project, according to Decca Records. "It helps me to remember all the things I've done. I can't say I'm a particularly nostalgic person, but I am enjoying this period of reflection." Reuters

Four-song EP by Late Singer Faithfull to Be Released in April
A new four-song EP by British singer and actor Marianne Faithfull, who died in January, is to be released in April, with the title track out on Friday, her family announced. "As we grieve the loss of Marianne, we are pleased to announce the release of these songs which she worked on during the year before her death," said her son Nicholas Dunbar. "Marianne lived to create and perform music –- it was her driving force and she never stopped. Right up until the end she was looking forward to this release which now completes and celebrates her remarkable artistic career." Faithfull was an icon of Swinging Sixties culture and was known for her tempestuous relationship with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, said AFP. The "Burning Moonlight" EP will be released as a limited-edition vinyl on April 12 and worldwide digitally on June 6. The EP was originally due to be revealed in February but the announcement was put on hold following the singer's death on January 30. "We decided to bring the music full circle. One side of the EP would be inspired by her debut pop LP 'Marianne Faithfull' while the flip would honor her folk roots on 'Come My Way'," said the EP's executive producer Andrew Batt. The title song, available from Friday, is described as a "moving ballad of resilience and acceptance". "It's a good time to look back," Faithfull said after completing the project, according to the press release. "It helps me to remember all the things I've done. I can't say I'm a particularly nostalgic person, but I am enjoying this period of reflection." The singer got her first break in 1964, after being discovered by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. Her first hit "As Tears Go By" written by Jagger and his fellow Rolling Stone Keith Richards, was followed with a string of successful singles, including "Come And Stay with Me", "This Little Bird" and "Summer Nights". She also acted in films including "The Girl on a Motorcycle" and theatre productions. She fell on hard times that included living in a squat and a heroin addiction following the end of her relationship with Jagger in 1970. But she returned with the classic album "Broken English" in 1979 and later reinvented herself as a jazz and blues singer with 1987's critically acclaimed "Strange Weather".
