New Joni Mitchell songs are to be aired exclusively on BBC Radio 2, six months before her first LP in ten years is released. Joni's "Shine" is the first album of new material in a decade, and also features her setting of Kipling's poem "If."

The world exclusive preview of the songs will take place over the next two weekends, as part of a two-part documentary based around an in-depth "conversation" between Mitchell and British singer-songwriter Amanda Ghost.

The radio series "Come In From The Cold: The Return Of Joni Mitchell" sees Mitchell explain the reasons behind her change of mind about recording music again. The series will be broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on March 20 and 27 at 8.30pm. "Shine" is expected to be released in the Autumn.
