Martha Wainwright’s songwriting has always carried a raw depth and uncompromising defiance. Whilst this essence to her artistry is still omnipresent on her fifth record, Love Will Be Reborn, the album also sees her delve into new reflections and perspectives.
Like much of her work, the acclaimed musician and songwriter wrote the tracks on Love Will Be Reborn from places of pain and a need for catharsis. On these songs, however, Wainwright finds a renewed joy through the hardship and conveys this with her poignant lyricism and buoyant melodies.

When they draw the map of authentic Americana, historians may not previously have thought of using marker pins for the cities of Leith, Edinburgh and Dundee. Now they’ll have too, in order to record the rapid rise of Roseanne Reid. Following a couple of acclaimed EP releases, Trails — the debut album by the Scottish troubadour and eldest daughter of The Proclaimers’ Craig Reid — announced the official arrival of a singular new voice in folk-roots / Americana music.
