Morrissey has signed a deal for the release of his 11th solo album, entitled Low In High School.
It will be the former Smiths frontman's first album in three years and is due out in November.
"There are not many artists around today that can compare to Morrissey," said BMG executive Korda Marshall.
"He is an extraordinary talent. He is prodigious, literate, witty, elegant and above all, courageous.
"His lyrics, humour and melodies have influenced many generations. The music on this new landmark record will speak for itself and we are delighted to welcome him to BMG."
Before the album's release he will perform at the Hollywood Bowl, but has yet to announce any other dates.
Low In High-School was recorded at La Fabrique Studios in France and in Rome - at Ennio Morricone's Forum Studios.
It was produced by Joe Chiccarelli - who worked with the likes of Frank Zappa, The Strokes and The White Stripes.
"There was a time when the music industry served the artist, but now the artist must serve the music industry, which is why everything is now so tasteless," Morrissey said in an interview last year.
"There is extremely heavy censorship now. It is severely controlled and monitored to make sure that any singer with a political message cannot get through.
"The result is obvious. We are left with music charts that do not reflect the feelings and needs of devout music lovers," he added.
"But there cannot be a revolution."
