The first posthumous song by Marianne Faithfull, who passed away at the end of January at 78 years of age, came out. It is titled Burning Moonlight And it gives the title to the EP which will be released for Record Store Day, on April 12, 2025, and which contains the records of the last year. The digital version will be released on June 6th.

The four songs of Burning Moonlight they were recorded in the last year of the singer's life. The exit was expected and would be announced in February if Faithfull was not dead.

“While we cry Marianne's loss, we are pleased to announce the publication of the songs to which she worked in the previous year,” writes her son Nicholas Dunbar. «Marianne lived to make music, it was the strength that moved her and never stopped. Until the end, he did not wait to publish this album that completes and celebrates his extraordinary career ».

The four songs show two sides of Faithfull's repertoire, recording in particular to the beginnings that took place in April 1965, when he released two albums simultaneously: one more pop, Marianne Faithfulland a more folk, Like My Way. The two facades of the EP are linked to these two faces of the singer's debut: on the one hand Burning Moonlightwhich is linked to the opening verses of AS Tears Go by (“It is the events of the day”), e Love ison the other the traditional Three Kinsmen Bold And She Moved Thru 'The Fair.

“It's a good time to look back,” said Faithfull about the project. “It helps me to remember the things I did. I can't say I am a particularly nostalgic one, but I'm enjoying this period of reflection ».
