Muse Complete First Tracks For New Album

New Album News

Muse have completed the first few tracks from their forthcoming album. Drummer Dominic Howard announced that some songs had already been written ahead of their slot at this year’s V Festival and the band are now taking a short break before returning to their studio in Italy to continue work on the new recording.

The album, which is the rock group’s fifth and has yet to be titled, follows the success of their Mercury nominated 2006 album Black Holes & Revelations

It is unclear when the release date for the new album might be, but Howard commented: “We’ve already done a few tracks and it sounds great, so we’re just working towards the future.”

George Michael To Release ‘FeelingGood’ Cover – Muse Fans Sigh

George Michael to follow in Muse’s footsteps

Singer suggests he’s not retiring and reveals Christmas single plan

George Michael is set to follow in the footsteps of Muse by releasing a cover of ‘Feeling Good’ – the song that originally featured in the 1965 musical ‘The Roar Of The Greasepaint – The Smell Of The Crowd’ – and was later sung by Nina Simone.

The singer’s version of the song will be released as a free download on Christmas Day (December 25). Muse released their own cover of the song in 2001, and it is still a staple of their live set.

Michael revealed his plan to release ‘Feeling Good’ during a concert at the London Earl’s Court venue last night (August 24), reports BBC News.

He also revealed further single plans, hinting that he was not retiring despite billing the show, in conjunction with another tonight (August 25) at the venue, as his final gigs.

During the show Michael said he would release a new Christmas single this winter in addition to the aforementioned download, suggesting that while he may be stepping away from live shows he doesn’t plan to leave music completely behind.
