Blues-Rock sensation Joanne Shaw Taylor, renowned for her blazing guitar chops and sultry vocals, has announced the release of “Devil In Me,” the fiery latest single from her eagerly awaited album, Heavy Soul, out June 7th via Journeyman Records. Produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley, this track delves into the darker realms of soul and blues, showcasing the #1 selling guitarist’s gritty storytelling and electrifying guitar prowess.
In “Devil In Me,” Taylor confronts the shadows with a narrative that speaks to personal struggles and the darker facets of human relationships. The song’s raw energy and candid lyrics are emblematic of Joanne’s knack for blending contemporary sounds with traditional blues elements. Following the stunning “Someone Like You” and the album’s title track, “Heavy Soul,” “Devil In Me” serves as a compelling continuation of the album’s exploration into the depths of human emotion and Taylor’s blues roots.
Recognized for her exceptional guitar skills and powerful songwriting, Joanne’s journey, which began at the age of 16 when discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, has seen her garner accolades from music icons like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox. Following the success of albums like Reckless Heart, The Blues Album, and Nobody’s Fool, Joanne’s Heavy Soul is poised to be another landmark in her illustrious career.
Heavy Soul emerges from Joanne’s creative vision of bridging the gap between her previous album Nobody’s Fool and her blues origins. “For me, it was about connecting the dots from ‘Nobody’s Fool’ back into the blues,” comments Joanne. “It’s a mix of contemporary soul-pop and roots music.” The album features an array of accomplished studio musicians, including Anton Fig, Alison Presswood, and Rob McNelley blending their unique talents to create an unforgettable musical experience.
Joanne is currently in the midst of her Spring U.S. 2024 Tour, treating audiences across the country to her latest hits and fan favorites. For more information on the album, single, and tour dates, please visit joanneshawtaylor.com.
