Joni Mitchell Announces Box Set 'Love Has Many Faces,' Includes 53 Remastered Songs

Though legendary singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell has retired from music, with her last album Shine released in 2007, Consequence of Sound reports she has announced the release of a career-spanning box set titled Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, a Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced. The box set collects 53 remastered tracks over four discs, personally chosen by Mitchell, and is set for release Nov. 17.

As its title suggests, the box set is divided into four distinct sections, or "thematic acts," similar to a ballet.

"Instead of it being an emotional roller coaster ride as it was before ... themes began to develop," Mitchell explains in a press release. "When this long editorial process (two years) finally came to rest, I had four ballets or a four-act ballet — a quartet. I also had a box set."

Love Has Many Faces will include a hardcover book by Mitchell that contains 53 lyrical poems (one for each song), six new paintings and extensive liner notes. The set is available for pre-order now and is going for $59.98.
