Martha Wainwright Announces New Album 'Love Will Be Reborn' Out August 20th

Canadian performer and songwriter Martha Wainwright’s highly anticipated new album Love Will Be Reborn, her first new album in five years, will be released on August 20th on Pheromone Records/Cooking Vinyl. 

Love Will Be Reborn will be her first album since 2016’s ‘Goodnight City’, and the first since 2012’s acclaimed ‘Come Home To Mama’ to feature so much original material. All eleven songs on the album are written by Martha.

Martha wrote the first song, and what would become the title track, a few years ago in what was a very dark time for her personally. The title track ‘Love Will Be Reborn’ is out now and hints at the ache of recent years while capturing a sense of optimism for the future. She wraps her wondrous, trademark vocals around the heartbreak to dizzying effect.

Recorded in Martha’s Montreal hometown, the album was made in the basement of café Ursa which also served as a studio and at PM Studios. Martha plays guitar and piano and enlisted the help of Toronto musicians Thom Gill (guitars, keys, back-ups) Phil Melanson (drums, percussion) and Josh Cole (bass). Pierre Marchand plays keyboards on ‘Love Will Be Reborn’ plus two other tracks while Morgan Moore plays bass on several songs.
