(PPR) Blues-rock guitarist and singer-songwriter Joanne Shaw Taylor has just unveiled her latest single, "Who's Gonna Love Me Now?," available on all major streaming platforms. Known for her powerful blend of emotive lyrics and soulful guitar work, Joanne's new release delves into the complex emotions surrounding grief, love, and moving forward. Written from a deeply personal place, the song reflects on recent experiences with family loss, drawing her back to the memories of her mother's passing and the initial shock and heartache that accompanied it.
"This song was a way for me to process some of the emotions I've been feeling," Joanne explains. "At the start of this year, I lost another family member, which brought me back to those early, raw days of grief after losing my mom. Writing 'Who's Gonna Love Me Now?' has been part of my journey in working through that pain and moving forward."
With haunting lyrics like "I've called your name in every room in this house / Until my tears dried up and my breath gave out," the track captures the anguish of unresolved goodbyes and the search for peace. Joanne's powerful vocal delivery, memorizing guitar playing and introspective songwriting are complemented by Kevin Shirley's masterful production, blending contemporary blues elements with a timeless, soulful resonance.
"Who's Gonna Love Me Now?" follows Joanne's previous single "All The Things I Said," a reflective look back at past relationships, "Hold Of My Heart" as well as her celebrated cover of "Black & Gold," showcasing her versatility and dedication to exploring new musical territory. Praised by industry icons like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox, Joanne's growing catalog continues to solidify her reputation as one of today's leading voices in blues-rock and beyond.
Currently, amid her U.S. "Heavy Soul" tour, Joanne brings her soulful performances to audiences across the country. Fans have the opportunity to experience her new material live alongside highlights from her celebrated album Heavy Soul and fan favorites.
