Bryan Ferry Teams With Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for ‘Star,’ His First Original Song in 10 Years

Bryan Ferry has shared his first original song in nearly a decade with "Star," a collaboration with Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Bryan Ferry has shared his first original song in nearly a decade with “Star,” a collaboration with singer Amelia Barratt and Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The track, which features on the Roxy Music singer’s upcoming five-disc Retrospective: Selected Recordings, began as a demo the NIN duo sent to Ferry, who in turn teamed with Barratt to turn the sketch into “Star,” with Barrett handling lead vocals on the track: While Ferry has sporadically released new music over the past few decades, it’s usually either in the form of reworked classics from his Roxy Music and solo catalog (like the orchestral The Jazz Age in 2012 and Bitter-Sweet in 2018) or cover albums like his Dylanesque; a previously unreleased reimagining of Bob Dylan’s “ She Belongs to Me ” also features on Retrospective: Selected Recordings.
