It’s her first album since 2016’s \u003ci\u003eGoodnight City\u003c\/i\u003e, and the first since 2012’s acclaimed \u003ci\u003eCome Home To Mama\u003c\/i\u003e to feature so much original material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll eleven songs on \u003ci\u003eLove Will Be Reborn\u003c\/i\u003e are written by Martha. She 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 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. “I wrote the song in its entirety within ten or fifteen minutes,” she admits. ”I was bawling”. Martha began to play the song live before she recorded the album and it became something of an anthem, giving her hope when it was most needed. The song, and the entire album, was produced by Pierre Marchand, best known for his work with Rufus Wainwright on \u003ci\u003ePoses\u003c\/i\u003e, the McGarrigle’s on \u003ci\u003eHeartbeats Accelerating\u003c\/i\u003e and much of Sarah McLaughlin’s 90’s catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded 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).

It's the follow-up to her acclaimed 2012 release 'Come Home To Mama'. 'Goodnight City' features 12 brand new songs produced by Thomas Bartlett (Sufjan Stevens, Glen Hansard) and long time producer Brad Albetta. It recalls the emotional rawness of her debut album, much of it encapsulated by the captivating lead track 'Around The Bend' and her extraordinary voice. \"Making 'Goodnight City' was the most fun I've had in a long time,\" Martha admits. \"Thomas (keys), Brad (electric\/bass), Phil Melanson (drums) and I would sit in a circle and work out arrangements for these vividly different songs. Recording them live with very few overdubs the focus remains on the integrity of the song and our ability to play together as a band.\" Martha wrote half the songs on the album while the other half were written by friends and relatives: Beth Orton, Glen Hansard, Rufus, Wainwright, Michael Ondaatje and Merrill Garbus of tune-yArDs. \"Because these writers know me and because I was able to personalise these songs by changing things here and there, I made them feel as if I wrote them myself,\" Martha explains. \"Somehow they wonderfully reflect my life and I am so thankful to the other artists for writing them.\" 'Goodnight City' was recorded in Montreal. Last year Martha and Lucy Wainwright Roche released 'Songs In The Dark' as the Wainwright Sisters.
