Queen is bringing the ’80s into 2022.
The band unveiled the never-before-heard track «Face It Alone» Thursday, which features vocals of late frontman Freddie Mercury. The more than four-minute long song is led by melancholy string plucks and slow drum hits with a sobering self-encouraging message: «Your life is your own / You’re in charge of yourself / Master of your home/ In the end, in the end / You have to face it all alone.»
The song was originally recorded in 1988 while the four-person group was working on their 1989 «The Miracle» album, according to a press release. While working on «Miracle» the band produced 30 tracks but only released 14 on the project that included the hit single «I Want It All.»
Though «Face It Alone» has been in the archives for more than 30 years, it is the first time the band has released new music in eight years and features all four of the band’s original members: Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.
