La talentueuse auteure-compositrice-interprète fait un retour en force avec un cinquième album en carrière, Love Will Be Reborn, prévu pour le mois d’août prochain. Cet ouvrage, riche en matériel original, est inspiré des récentes années des récentes années qu’a vécues l’artiste, lesquelles ont été à la fois solitude et moments de clarté dans une recherche d’optimisme et de joie.
Martha Wainwright a écrit la première chanson, soit la chanson titre du disque il y a quelques années déjà. C'était une période très sombre, mentionne-t-elle, mais la positivité et la luminosité de Love Will Be Reborn annonçaient ce qui allait suivre.
La plupart des chansons écrites par Martha Wainwright depuis Goodnight City (2016) étaient à l’état brut. Pendant plusieurs années, je prenais la guitare, et j'étais tellement triste et déprimé que je la reposais immédiatement, poursuit-elle. Martha a pris le temps de vivre, de passer à travers ses sentiments enfouis afin de revenir plus forte. La pièce Middle of the Lake, premier titre de l’album, renforce le chemin parcouru par Wainwright lorsqu'elle chante : I sing my songs of love and pain / Winds of change or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain.
Son travail ne s'éloigne jamais des blessures existentielles. J’aborde plusieurs sujets sur cet album. On passe d’un côté sombre à une ouverture vers des pensées plus claires, dit-elle. Il reflète une période très difficile de mon divorce, mais s’adoucit avec la rencontre de quelqu'un de nouveau et d'extraordinaire. Alors, oui, vous entendrez certaines chansons à propos de ce nouvel amour.
Pour Love Will Be Reborn, Martha Wainwright a fait appel au réalisateur montréalais Pierre Marchand. Hole In My Heart est une chanson plutôt rythmée, qui aborde l’amour : I got naked right away when I saw you / My love was like the rain when I saw you. La piste Getting older, quant à elle, explore la thématique des années qui passent. À travers les chansons, je tente de me débarrasser un peu du passé, de ce boulet, de cette grande colère, ajoute-t-elle.
L’émouvante Report Card est dépouillée ne laissant que les instruments essentiels, ce qui a pour effet d’accentuer le sentiment d’angoisse qui y est illustré. Martha exprime sur ce morceau sombre une profonde solitude, évoquant les nuances émotionnelles propres aux parents et aux personnes séparées de leurs enfants en raison des modalités de garde.
Martha Wainwright est une artiste sans compromis. Le processus de renaissance de Love Will Be Reborn honore son passé pour lui permettre d’aller de l’avant, comme le Phoénix qui renaît constamment de ses cendres. Poussée par un désir de résilience, Martha Wainwright témoigne de la souffrance endurée laissant place à une joie nouvelle.

Martha Wainwright Biography
Martha Wainwright is beginning again.
The beguiling performer and songwriter returns with Love Will Be Reborn, out in August. Not since 2012’s Come Home to Mama has a Martha Wainwright record been so full of original written material. Wainwright’s fifth studio album follows recent years of loneliness and clarity in search of optimism and joy.
Wainwright wrote the first song—and what would become the title track— of the record a few years ago. It was a very dark time, she says, but the positivity and luminosity of “Love Will Be Reborn” signalled what was to come. The song simply poured out of her.
Much of Wainwright’s songwriting since 2016’s Goodnight City felt too raw. “There were several years where I picked up the guitar, and I was so, so sad and depressing. I would just put it down because I was terrible.” Before writing it out, or writing through it for catharsis, Wainwright had to live it. Album opener “Middle of the Lake” reinforces Wainwright’s path forward as she sings over voltaic chords and percussion, “I sing my songs of love and pain / Winds of change or simply singing, I'm singing in the rain.” Her work never shies away from an existential throbbing wound. “There are a couple major subjects on the record. From what I can tell, there's really dark and then light,” she says,” It really is reflective of a very difficult period of divorce. Then, after that, it’s meeting somebody new and amazing. And so you hear certain songs about this new love.”
Wainwright enlisted Canadian producer Pierre Marchand for Love Will Be Reborn. “Hole In My Heart” is an upbeat song, with Wainwright singing, “I got naked right away when I saw you / My love was like the rain when I saw you,” as is the track, “Getting Older,” which is about aging and new love. Other songs, she says, “represent me trying to shake away the past a little bit, the ball and chain of that anger, try to escape from it.”
There is no song more gripping than “Report Card.” The song is stripped to essential instrumentals punctuating her anguish. Wainwright expresses on the sombre track a feeling of deep loneliness, evoking emotional nuances particular to parents and individuals separated from their children because of custody arrangements.
Martha Wainwright's role as an artist has always been to embrace her wildness and sketch out her raw depth. This edge is what makes Wainwright uncompromisingly herself and continues to draw in an audience two decades on. To begin again does not mean starting over. This process of rebirth honours the past to move forward. Love Will Be Reborn captures Wainwright’s heart in transition. In an effort to rise out of some painful depths, as she says much like a phoenix from the ashes of an existential twilight, Wainwright bore witness to what her heart endured to find a new joy once more.
