“Change of Heart is one of my favourite songs on the album,” Joanne shares. “It’s about meeting someone who makes you want to risk your heart again, despite past hurts. Beth’s lyrical genius really brought the emotion of the song to life.”

Produced by the acclaimed Kevin Shirley, Joanne’s new album Heavy Soul features a collection of songs that navigate the complexities of love, resilience, and personal transformation, showcasing her signature blend of blues-rock guitar and soulful pop sensibilities. Critics have already praised Taylor for her authenticity and raw talent, with Classic Rock Magazine noting her “rich honeyed marriage of blues-rock guitar and soulful pop sensibilities” and Blues Matters hailing her as “a beacon of authenticity and talent.”

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 and The Blues Album, Heavy Soul emerges from Joanne’s creative vision of bridging the gap between her previous album Nobody’s Fool and her blues origins. 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.

An announcement of the US Fall Tour is expected later this month.
