Joni Mitchell sings for Starbucks

| | Comments (0)

Like Sir Paul McCartney and Lord Sonic Youth, Joni Mitchell is down with Starbucks Entertainment. The Grammy-award winning, self-portrait painting, ballet-advising artist has signed a two-album deal with the coffee-monger’s Hear Music label, bringing a sudden end to her 2002 retirement from songwriting.

Mitchell’s first album on the label, Shine, premiers Sept. 25 and features her "first collection of new songs in nearly a decade.” In 2005, she advised two Hear Music compilations; Mitchell Artist’s Choice, a collection of her own influences, and Joni Mitchell Selected Songs, which were not, in fact, Joni Mitchell selected, but hand-picked by the likes of Elvis Costello and Bob Dylan.

According to Variety, Starbucks Entertainment hopes to sign one more artist before the end of 2007, rumored to be James Taylor.
