British blues-rock virtuoso Joanne Shaw Taylor adds a sultry twist to her repertoire with the release of “Wild Love,” the latest single from her eagerly anticipated album, due out next year. Brimming with bluesy undertones and an infectious energy, the track showcases Joanne’s signature guitar licks against a backdrop of dynamic drums and bass. “Wild Love” is a departure into a darker, more intimate territory, capturing the essence of a moody blues night while retaining the vigour that her fans have come to adore.
“I love this track,” says Joanne. “I wanted it to be dark and sexy. I think, with the boys’ help, we came up with something really cool that the band in the studio really made come to life.”
“It’s also rather different to anything I’ve done before so I’m really looking forward to playing it live,” says Joanne, reflecting on the collaborative creative process with her guitar tech Elliot and guitar player Joey. With their combined talents, “Wild Love” promises to be a highlight in her discography.

Following the enchanting success of her previous single “Black Magic,” Joanne continues to mesmerize her audience with her latest creation. “Black Magic” set the stage with its traditional blues infusion, promising a soulful escape for listeners and fans alike. Her first single “Sweet ‘Lil Lies” captivated audiences by blending rock with blues undertones reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Raitt. Now, “Wild Love” builds on that foundation, offering a compelling new narrative woven with Joanne’s soulful melodies and deep, rhythmic grooves.
Discovered by Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics when she was a mere 16 years old and subsequently invited to tour the world, Joanne’s rise to stardom, propelled by endorsements from music giants like Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox, remains unmatched.
With a discography boasting chart-toppers like Reckless Heart, The Blues Album, and most recently Nobody’s Fool, Joanne is unstoppable. As she readies her next studio album, fans can expect a cocktail of her signature guitar riffs, emotive vocals, and inspired songwriting. Moreover, her live show has been gaining rave reviews and boasts an eclectic blend of classic hits and fresh material, with two weeks left on the road, the tour ends at the historic Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, GA.
Journeyman’s revolutionary approach to the music industry continues to disrupt the norm. Spearheaded by Joe Bonamassa and manager Roy Weisman, the label champions live artists and offers them a platform unlike any other.
