What a gorgeous song and video to accompany it. Emotive with no artifice. Pure and sweet.

Her debut is still one of my favorites, and I adored I Know You're Married But I Have Feelings Too if not for the title alone. Anxious to hear what this sounds like based on...that cover.

[rasiasertew]

Proserpina is a gorgeous song...the last one her mother ever wrote. The title is lifted from that track as well.

[ELURNSERB]

She puts on a great live show too. I love her voice, I think it's quite unique. Unique voices definitely run in the family. I love that album cover, can't wait to hear some tracks!

[grinaJanoDant]

Excited for the album, but that is one horrible cover. The font makes it all so much worse too.

[ELURNSERB]

That cover has a real vintage vibe. I wonder if that will translate to the sound of the album. Then again, I always think of vintage folk when I think of Martha.

As I've grown up with the McGarrigles and Wainwrights I can't help but follow Martha's career and buy her records as I do with the rest of the clan. I liked the debut, but I Know You're Married left me cold. So this one will definitely be a try-before-you-buy album. Really hoping it's a good effort this time.

I loved her Mom's live version and I love this version as well. The video is simple but effective.

[Sydrothcoathy]

Oh that's beautiful! Got me very interested in this. Only have I Know You're Married but I really like that album.

[Symnunidanimb]

Wow, that was truly stunning. Perfect amount of drama, tension, and warmth. The mythology makes for gorgeous imagery, too. Loved it.

[enencephoth]

Absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful song.

[yovbQVpD]

Gorgeous video. The song is so emotional! I couldn't have higher hopes for this album right now.

[sposteTipsKage]

Wow. I don't know her music very well, but this got me to pre-order the new album. I've got her self-titled album buried in my iTunes.

Which album do you all like best so far?

ETA:
She has a kickstarter-type thing going on to raise money for a US tour!

I only know her Piaf record so far. I really like that one.

[maxfieldj1]

Beautiful!

[nithhysfusy]

Well, that was pretty much insanely beautiful. I am so excited for this record.

To answer the above question, her self-titled is my favorite, but I like all three records. I go back to the Piaf Record the least, but it is excellent for what it is. I saw that show, and I have to say something feels incomplete about just listening to a recording from one of those shows. She's such an impressive, expressive live performer, and she really brought those songs to life.
