Lydia Loveless Returns With New Album ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stand In My Way Again’

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..
