Joanne Shaw Taylor is premiering the lyric video for her track Dyin’ To Know exclusively with TeamRock.
The song is the opening track on Taylor’s upcoming fifth album Wild, set for release on September 30 via her own label Axehouse Music.
She says: “Dyin’ To Know is about addiction – that compulsion to repeatedly do something that has a negative impact on your life, whether that be alcohol, drugs a bad relationship.
“Sometimes you can’t walk away even though you should and are willing to let that something kill you. Where does this road go, you’re dying to know.
“For me this song musically has the most in common with my previous catalogue but lyrically it moves outside of my usual topics and with the addition the vocal harmonies feels a little different.”
Shaw previously told TeamRock she had always intended to work as an independent artist rather than be tied to deal with a record label. She left Roof Records before starting work on Wild.
She said: “It is maybe the control freak in me, but this is where I always wanted to end up – as a totally independent artist.
“When I first got signed by Dave Stewart, it was to a major label and later I was very happy with with decision to sign to Roof. But my audience is on the road, I will never have a hit no.1 record.
“I think being on my own gives me a better platform to represent myself.”
