Morrissey possibly made reference to Sam Smith’s concert at the 2023 Grammys, where he wore a hat with horns
In yet another controversial statement, Morrisseyformer singer of Smithsmade a publication on his official website to criticize the label Capitol Recordswhich “proudly promotes Satanism of Sam Smith.” Previously, the musician had already criticized the company for supposedly shelving the studio album Bonfire of Teenagers.
In the text published on the website, the singer spoke about how the company did not release his album, but continues to produce works of Smith. “Capitol Records (Los Angeles) proudly promotes the ‘Satanism’ of Sam Smith; yet they consider the honest truth of the factual Bonfire of Teenagers in Morrissey as the greatest threat and will not disclose it despite their contractual obligation and promise to do so,” he wrote.
It is worth highlighting how this “satanism” that Morrissey quoted is probably the show of Sam Smith at the Grammy 2023. At the awards, the artist sang the hit “unholy” with kim petras. Smith wore a horned hat and the stage had red lighting, as well as pyrotechnics and dancers inside metal cages.
Morrissey believes label sabotaged new album
Morrissey continues to face problems with the launch of his disc Bonfire Of Teenagers. After troubled departure from the label BMG in 2020 due to controversial political statements, the musician signed with Capitol Recordsbut it hasn’t had an easy life so far.
Disagreements began after the news that Miley Cyrus would have chosen to cancel his participation in one of the songs of the new album of Morrissey. The former member of The Smiths published letter about cancellation policy and culture. He still denied that the singer’s departure was related to her far-right positions.
This Tuesday, 7, Morrissey he returned to the subject due to an impasse in the release of the album, implying that there was sabotage in his project with the record company. “Morrissey is ‘too diverse’ for Universal Music Group,” reads the statement on the musician’s website. Capitol Records won’t release the disc Bonfire of Teenagers (2021), at the same time, are holding the puck.”
“Although Morrissey have signed with Capitol Recordsthere is no mention of him on the label’s website or in their artist bank. Morrissey said that, despite not believing that the Capitol Records signed the contract to sabotage the album, he is quickly coming to that belief,” the statement added.
The site even included a link to the text of Fiona Dowell which argues alleged “lack of true diversity in music” after case of Morrissey with the Capitol Records (via stereogun).
