The beguiling performer and songwriter returns with Love Will Be Reborn, out in August. Not since 2012 s Come Home to Mama has a Martha Wainwright record been so full of original written material. Wainwright s fifth studio album follows recent years of loneliness and clarity in search of optimism and joy.Wainwright wrote the first songmdashand what would become the title trackmdash of the record a few years ago. It was a very dark time, she says, but the positivity and luminosity of Love Will Be Reborn signalled what was to come. The song simply poured out of her. Much of Wainwright s song writing since 2016 s Goodnight City felt too raw. There were several years where I picked up the guitar, and I was so, so sad and depressing. I would just put it down because I was terrible. Before writing it out, or writing through it for catharsis, Wainwright had to live it. Album opener Middle of the Lake reinforces Wainwright s path forward as she sings over voltaic chords and percussion, I sing my songs of love and pain Winds of change or simply singing, Im singing in the rain. Her work never shies away from an existential throbbing wound. There are a couple major subjects on the record. From what I can tell, theres really dark and then light, she says, It really is reflective of a very difficult period of divorce. Then, after that, it s meeting somebody new and amazing. And so you hear certain songs about this new love.
