Excerpt from that article:

Queen have released a lyric video for Face It Alone, a track recorded during sessions for the band's 1989 album The Miracle. It's the first previously unheard song featuring Freddie Mercury's voice to emerge since the release of the Queen Forever compilation album in 2014.

"We’d kind of forgotten about this track,” said Roger Taylor. “But there it was, this little gem. It’s wonderful, a real discovery. It’s a very passionate piece."

"It was kind of hiding in plain sight," added May. "We looked at it many times and thought, ‘Oh no, we can’t really rescue that’. But in fact, we went in there again and our wonderful engineering team went, ‘OK, we can do this and this’. It’s like stitching bits together. But it’s beautiful. It’s touching.”

“We had all these bits and pieces of tracks, and some of them were half-finished, some of them were just an idea, and some of them were nearly finished, and it sort of happened on its own really," says May. "There are some tracks which you always want to get out and work on, and so they get finished, and there are some tracks which you think, ‘Oh that’s great, but I don’t really know what to do with it at this moment’, so they naturally get left by the wayside."
