Bryan Ferry unveils "star" as his first original music release in over a decade in collaboration with Amelia Barratt

"Star" began as a sketch by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails, developed by Bryan Ferry and Amelia Barratt into an anxious, darkly gleaming slab of pounding post-techno.

Speaking about ‘Star’ Bryan Ferry said: “Star is a collaboration with the painter and writer Amelia Barratt. A couple of years ago I helped her record an audiobook here in my studio. I was very impressed by her writing, and this is the first song we did together. I’m very excited about this new work - there’s a lot more to come.”

The 81 tracks that make up Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023 illustrate an adventure in music like no other. The release is a celebration of the performer who has carved out a place as a master modern interpreter of song via an inventive series of cover versions that range from Bob Dylan to Amy Winehouse, Rodgers and Hart to the Velvet Underground via Tim Buckley, Shakespeare, sea shanties and Sam and Dave

Marking the start of this career-spanning celebration, Bryan Ferry recently released "She Belongs To Me". A powerful re-imagining of the 1965 Bob Dylan classic that brings the story full circle.
