Morrissey Releases Three New Songs on BBC Radio 2

At 52 years old, Morrissey remains eternally melancholy, with eternally great hair. According to NJ Underground, the former Smiths frontman stopped by Janice Long's BBC 2 Radio program to perform three of his newly minted songs, which were recorded live at BBC's Maida Vale studios.

Beginning the set with 'Action Is My Middle Name,' a classic-sounding pop ballad, followed by the high-energy, jam-heavy 'The Kid's a Looker' and ending with the rocking 'People Are the Same Everywhere,' proves that the Great Sad One can still produce great heart-on-sleeve rock.

And if the BBC session is any indication, Morrissey's follow-up to 2009's 'Years of Refusal' is shaping up to be one hell of a record. Check out the new tracks below (courtesy of NJ Underground) and visit the BBC to hear the full interview.
