Description:
One of the most influential contemporary British icons, one-track minded, evocative of inspiration, inventive, radical, incendiary, revered, toothless, romantic - Morrissey is an artist that cannot be described in one word. The vocalist and poet of The Smiths, described by the NME as "the most influential band of all time", is a charismatic and dominant figure on the British music scene with his aesthetics, words, lyrics and music. Morrissey released his first solo album, "VIVA HATE," just six months after The Smiths disbanded in 1987. The album, which included his signature songs such as "Everyday Is Like Sunday" and "Suedehead," not only reached No. 1 on the U.K. album chart, but was also certified as a gold disc in both the U.K. and the U.S. After releasing several singles, Morrissey released his first solo album, "VIVA HATE," in just six months. After releasing several singles, he released "Bona Drag" in 1990, which became a top 10 album in the UK.He continued to release works consistently with "KILL UNCLE" in 1991, "YOUR ARSENAL" in 1992, "VAUXHALL AND I" in 1994, and "SOUHPAW GRAMMER" in 1995. Even today, Morrissey's creativity and tongue are endless.
