The new single “is a playful song that’s brimming with joy. The song serves as the emotional flip side to previous song “Falaise de Malaise”, a song steeped in despair and sadness, the storm to the sunshine” shares the press release. The last single was written and sung in ‘Franglais’ (a mix of English and French). The singer said at that time: “I’ve always sung in French (Piaf record and various covers..) but this is the first time I’ve allowed myself to compose in it”. 

Listen to and watch the video for “Hole In My Heart” below.

Like many records this year, Wainwright’s upcoming release has been produced during a global pandemic and recorded in the singer’s hometown, Montreal. Records were made in the basement of her cafe, which also serves as a studio.
The singer has recently been added to the Best Albums Of 2021 by HMV. She reached the Top 10 alongside Lorde, Jungle, Chvrches, Jake Bugg, Maisie Peters, Bleachers, Deafheaven, Jade Bird and Mr Jukes & Barney Artist.
