Rock icon Patti Smith's brand new album "Banga" will be released on June 1.

It was followed in 2007 by "Twelve," which featured cover versions. "Banga" was recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City and produced by Patti Smith and her band. The line-up includes Tony Shanahan, Jay Dee Daugherty and her longtime musical partner Lenny Kaye. In addition to Tom Verlaine, Jack Petruzzelli, Patti Smith's son Jackson, and her daughter Jesse Paris also contributed songs as guests. "Banga" features twelve songs, including the melodic overture "Amerigo," based on Amerigo Vespucci's journey to the New World in 1497, the rock song "Fuji-san," dedicated to the people of Japan after last year's earthquake, the ballad "This Is The Girl" in memory of Amy Winehouse, the improvised meditative "Constantine's Dream" and a birthday song for her boyfriend Johnny Depp called "Nine." Review , "Lyric World Theatre: Once to the End of the World and Back." (Rolling Stone, July 2012) , "A quiet, if not always serene, coming-of-age piece." (Stereo Play, August 2012) "Musically, Smith doesn't bring much new to the table either, though Banga shines with arguably his best songs since his 1996 comeback album Gone Again." (Good Times, August/September 2012) , "Patti Smith and her new album , "Banga" are happier and quieter than the photos suggest." (Audio, August 2012)
