Track Of The Day 30/7 – Martha Wainwright

'Hole In My Heart'

Martha Wainwright's first album in five years finds the songwriter undergoing a subtle transformation.

An astute student of the craft, her songwriting is imbued with a fresh energy, while her lyricism continually veers towards the revelatory.

New album 'Love Will Be Reborn' is out on August 20th, and a slew of UK dates have been confirmed for September.

Set to play London's beautiful Union Chapel on September 20th, she'll blend her wonderful new material with some much-longed for fan favourites.

New single 'Hole In My Heart' is imbued with a refreshing directness, the sharp-edged melody set against that bravura lyrical performance.

A song about cutting ties, it balances a longing for the past with an urge towards escapism.

Check it out now.
