Laura Marling has shared a heartfelt new single titled ‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can’. Check it out below.
Shared today (august 22), the new single comes as the latest track to be shared from her forthcoming eighth studio album ‘Patterns In Repeat’. It also follows on the heels of the English singer-songwriter dropping the lead single, ‘Patterns’ earlier this summer.
“We grew tired of making plans that kept slipping through our hands / and if life is just a dream / I’m gonna make it mean something worth a damn / So no one’s gonna love you like I can,” she sings in the intimate, emotive bridge, with a gentle piano melody playing behind.
Though it was just released today, the singer did tease the track last month, when she shared a preview of the single on her official Instagram page, which came in the form of a video of her playing the song on the piano.
‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can’ is the fourth song on the ‘Patterns In Repeat’ tracklist. It is set to arrive on October 25 via Chrysalis/Partisan, and you can pre-order/pre-save the album here.
Written, recorded and produced by Marling herself at her home studio in London, ‘Patterns In Repeat’ was written after the birth of her daughter in 2023 and finds the musician reflecting the patterns at play in the constellation of a family.
Previously speaking about the new album in a press release, Marling said: “For the first time in my life, I was able to gaze into another human’s eyes as I wrote. Of course, new parents feel like they discovered that feeling – one of the very finest that life has to offer, of looking into the eyes of your child and feeling the enormity of the picture as a whole, the enormity of a precarious life, celestial, fragile and extraordinary, taking its place among the comparatively banal constellation of a family.”
She continued: “This banal constellation seems to have dominated the writing of ‘Patterns in Repeat’ – the drama of the domestic sphere, the frail threads that bind a family together, the good intentions we hold onto for our progeny and the many and various ways they get lost in time. So much complexity in the banal, the caged, the every day.”
The new album will be the follow-up to her 2020 album ‘Song For Our Daughter‘ which was written figuratively, and from the perspective of writing to and about a fictional daughter.
In a five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Album seven is a piece of a person we are familiar with. It might be less folky than her previous work, more guided by vital words than percussive rhythm, but it still feels cohesive and like a safe haven. The album is a balm, Marling a lifeline – and a source of stability. We’re lucky to have her.”
Recently, Marling announced a handful of live gigs in London and New York, set to commence later this year. She will play a four-night run at Hackney Church in London in October and two nights at New York’s Bowery Ballroom in November.
