Introducing Canadian rocker Christina Martin, who's been making noise for a few years now and releasing some amazing records, while gaining critical acclaim for her songwriting and live performances from CLASH, AmericanaUK, and Songwriting Magazine among others. Thanks to her constant touring, she has a huge following in Canada and across Europe. Her upcoming eighth album Storm is out on 1st September, a rootsy and rocky listen with lots of anthemic hooks and lavish strings - think Sharon Van Etten or Everything Must Go-era Manic Street Preachers. Opening number Little Princess, is one of the album’s rockier tracks with a prominent chugging guitar line. It acts as 'Storm'’s overture, introducing us to the album’s twin central pillars of lush orchestral arrangements and Martin’s heartstring lyricism. In the case of Little Princess, the lyrics deal with Martin's childhood, even making use of her childhood poetry, and the influence of her older brother, who sadly died aged 41 of an opoid overdose. Confessional and pensive, it’s elevated from a rock ‘n’ roll toe-tapper to something altogether more thought-provoking.
