Queen Forever | New Queen Compilation Due In November

A new compilation, Queen Forever, which includes three previously unreleased Queen tracks featuring late singer Freddie Mercury is due out on November 11 via Hollywood Records. The three previously-unreleased tracks include a long anticipated song from Queen and Michael Jackson, “There Must Be More to Life Than This,” a previously unfinished Mercury-Queen track “Let Me In Your Heart Again,” and a new stripped-down ballad version of Mercury’s first solo hit, “Love Kills.”

Queen Forever will be released in both single CD and two-CD formats. In addition to the unreleased tracks, the compilation features Queen hits, classic tracks, and new takes on well-known songs, matched with band recordings Brian May describes in a press release as “things that we have collected together that are representative of our growth rather than the big hits.” May and Roger Taylor assembled the collection themselves with the aim of presenting a definitive collection of Queen’s love songs.

The Queen/Michael Jackson collaboration “There Must Be More To Life Than This” premiered earlier today on BBC Radio 2. Here’s a stream as first noted by Consequence of Sound:
