In ‘Another Love’, Gemma Hayes returns from a decade-long hiatus with a song that proves her storytelling prowess remains as sharp as ever.
This duet with Paul Noonan weaves a delicate narrative of two souls finding solace in each other’s arms while grappling with the ghosts of past loves. Hayes’ crystalline vocals intertwine with Noonan’s, creating a bittersweet harmony that echoes the complex emotions at the heart of the song.
The track serves as a tantalising preview of Hayes’ upcoming album ‘Blind Faith‘, showcasing her ability to craft lyrics that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. ‘Another Love‘ is not a typical love song; instead, it explores the unexpected intimacy that can arise from shared grief. Hayes’ sublime songwriting turns what could be a maudlin theme into a nuanced exploration of human connection.
As the Mercury Prize-nominated artist prepares for her UK tour, ‘Another Love’ stands as a testament to her enduring talent and a promising harbinger of the stories yet to be told on her long-awaited sixth album.
