Lydia Loveless today announced her highly anticipated new album Nothing’s Gonna Stand in My Way Again will be released on September 22nd, 2023, via the resurgent Bloodshot Records. A follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2020 LP Daughter, Nothing’s Gonna Stand in My Way Again continues the evolution of Loveless (she/her/they/them): a fiercely brave writer who bluntly assesses their life in song. Their trademark candidness and razor-sharp wit remain as they lay bare their raw pain—struggles with alcohol and depression, a breakup with their longtime boyfriend, and uncertainty about the future—but here Loveless’ voice is wiser and more controlled. And while she holds onto a vintage country heart and a heartland rock soul, this album also presents something new and matured: a sound akin to Rumors and Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac.
Cathartic lead single “Toothache,” is out today alongside a Katie Harriman-directed video, is bolstered by driving, kinetic riffs as Loveless sings about the mundanity of daily life feeling catastrophic enough to precipitate a breakdown. Check out the vintage fueled song and video below..
