Queen bring back Freddie Mercury for new album release

[dropcap]A [/dropcap]new Queen album is scheduled to be released this year on November 10, featuring three previously unreleased tracks that include vocals from the iconic late singer, Freddie Mercury.
Featuring a much-anticipated collaboration with Michael Jackson on ‘There Must Be More To Life Than This’, and a previously unfinished Mercury-Queen track, fans will also be treated to a stripped-down ballad version of Freddie’s first solo hit, ‘Love Kills’.
The package is completed with classic Queen hits and new takes on big songs, with Brian May explaining there are: “things that we have collected together that are representative of our growth rather than the big hits”.
‘Queen Forever’ is available as a single 20-track CD and an extended 36-track two CD set.
Brian continued: “There was a little bit more in the can that we had overlooked for a long time, so we have a few songs which we’re working on right now. Freddie sounds as fresh as yesterday.”
Roger Taylor added: “We’ve got some great new tracks that haven’t been heard and there’s an interesting selection of older stuff.”
William Orbit got involved with the production of the Queen and Michael Jackson duet, and spoke out about his involvement.
“I had known Roger for many years, now he was on the phone asking if I would get involved in this musical adventure.
“When I first played it in my studio I opened a trove of delights provided by the greatest of musicians. Hearing Michael Jackson’s vocals was stirring. So vivid, so cool, and poignant, it was like he was in the studio singing live. With Freddie’s vocal solo on the mixing desk, my appreciation for his gift was taken to an even higher level.
“The musicianship of all four members of Queen is phenomenal. Roger, an extraordinarily multi talented man I’ve always admired. John Deacon’s original bass part with its lyrical fluidity that made it easy for me to know where to put the odd reinforcement. Freddie’s original piano carried most of the song’s musical DNA. Brian, one take for the solo, a blur of fingers, and the spirits of MJ and FM fully present, in the moment, sending shivers down the spine.”
