The man we treat like a deity who goes by the name Morrissey has released a new song that further solidifies our undying devotion to everything he creates.

Arriving online a week after the title track to World Peace Is None Of Your Business surfaced, “Istanbul” finds Morrissey channeling his funk influences through a groovy track about loss and growing up. Moz’s signature melancholy delivery plays well with the uptempo nature of the music, resulting in a deeply satisfying listening experience whether it’s your first or fiftieth spin. You can stream the song, in full, below:

If you like what you hear, please consider purchasing “Istanbul” on iTunes. World Peace Is None Of Your Business has been set for a July 15 release through Harvest Music. We expect more singles will surface in the weeks ahead.

In addition to releasing the full band version of this single, Morrissey also chose today to reveal a spoken word version of the track through a brilliantly executed video short. You can view that footage below:
