Johnny Marr has released “It’s Time,” the new single taken from his forthcoming studio album, “The Age Of Everything,” due Oct. 2nd via BMG.
“It’s Time” is a defiant call to arms in the face of cynicism and corruption, bursting into a widescreen anthem capturing Johnny Marr’s songwriting at its most exhilarating.
The song premiered live on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning.
“’It’s Time’ is my way of singing about some worldly issues but finding defiance, in idealism,” Marr said. “I wanted a lyric that matched the exuberance of the music but is actually about resisting cynicism and corruption: ‘Everybody ain’t making it, change the weather and breaking it. Mobilise to know the truth. Open eyes to know the truth.’ I guess it’s about the assholes with dodgy views.”
The music video for “It’s Time” was filmed earlier this year at Johnny’s biggest headline show of his solo career. A sold-out homecoming performance at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl treated fans to a high energy set of classics, hits, and an abundance of brand new and unreleased music.
The album will be available on CD, black vinyl and limited edition red vinyl, with the official artist store also stocking exclusive limited 3 Colour splatter vinyl and merch bundles here.
