PATTI SMITH släpper nya plattan i juni - avslöjar skivdetaljer

I ett pressutskick till Rolling Stone så hävdar hon även att låten "Nine" är skriven till hennes vän, skådespelaren Johnny Depp:

- There is an exploratory spirit in the songs that make up Banga, including a melodic overture imagining the voyage of Amerigo Vespucci to the New World in 1497 ('Amerigo'), a rock song for the people of Japan in the wake of last years earthquake ('Fuji-san'), a classic ballad in memory of Amy Winehouse ('This Is the Girl'), an improvised meditation on art and nature ('Constantine's Dream') as well as a birthday song written for her friend Johnny Depp ('Nine')."

Tidigare har hon sagt följande om låten "This Is The Girl" som är tillägnad den bortgångne Amy Winehouse:

- ''The little song for Amy just blossomed in the studio. We were at [New York studio] Electric Lady doing a whole other song and I wrote Amy a little poem when she died and my bass player, Tony Shanahan, wrote a piece of music and the two matched perfectly.”
