‘You And Me (Rachel’s Song)‘ is the latest single from Joanne Shaw Taylor, taken from her forthcoming studio album The Trouble With Love, due Friday 23rd October via Journeyman Records.
“A song for my best friend Rachel,” Taylor expressed succinctly. It’s about a friendship that endures through distance, change, and the passing of time.
A gently stabbing guitar line soulfully pushes Joanne Shaw Taylor‘s new single ‘You And Me (Rachel’s Song)‘ along, her breathy, almost whispering mantra-like vocals offering the only urgency needed. Dreamy in that reflective autumn manner.
“It’s the big moments that always feel small, until you look back, then they’re the ones you wish you could stall,” she sings, capturing the way friendships are often defined by memories that seemed insignificant while they were happening.
Much of The Trouble With Love examines romance, heartbreak, longing, and difficult relationships. ‘You And Me (Rachel’s Song)‘ widens that lens to celebrate the quieter, steadier love found in lasting friendship.
Produced by Kevin Shirley, The Trouble With Love is said to continue the artistic evolution that has defined Joanne‘s recent work, pairing some of her most personal songwriting with the expressive guitar playing and unmistakable voice that have made her one of contemporary blues rock’s most acclaimed artists.
Tracks featured on The Trouble With Love are: ‘The Trouble With Love feat. Joe Bonamassa‘, ‘Hell Or High Water‘, ‘This Is Who I Am‘, ‘Tired Of Being Right‘, ‘Bad Boy‘, ‘What Good Is My Love? feat. Orianthi‘, ‘The Girl That You Loved Before‘, ‘Never Gonna Please ‘Em All‘, ‘You And Me (Rachel’s Song)‘ and ‘Death Wish‘.
