Martha Wainwright has spoken extensively about standing in the shadows of her family members. I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too proves she has nothing to worry about. Many of the folky songs on Wainwright's 2005 self-titled debut were written long before it was recorded, and she's made huge strides as a songwriter since. "You...

Martha Wainwright — I Will Internalize EP

in
By Elizabeth Chorney-Booth (CHARTattack) November 29, 2005 2:51 pm
This five-song EP is largely comprised of bonus tracks from V2's international release of Martha Wainwright's recently released debut full-length. While the songs fit nicely into the Wainwright canon, this release is unsatisfyingly short and the songs aren't quite strong enough to stand on their own. The EP's title track and the French pop cover...

Continuing the Wainwright family’s streak of creating powerful records is Martha, little sister of Rufus. She's been threatening a breakthrough for a while now, but this spectacular and very, very long overdue debut full-length is still unexpected, capturing her stunning, expressive voice. Wainwright isn't just a sweet songbird; she's the...

Martha Wainwright: "I Like Dead People"

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 9, 2010 3:07 pm
Martha Wainwright's had nothing short of a crazy year. Just after Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, À Paris, her Edith Piaf tribute record, was released last November, her first child, Arcangelo, was born in the U.K. This was obviously something worth celebrating, but Arcangelo was born 10 weeks premature and needed a lot of care after he was...

"Donny, you're out of your element!" —The Big Lebowski I spent nine years studying French when I was little, and by the time I graduated high school I was bilingual.

Martha Wainwright will drop her second album, the amusingly titled I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too, on June 10 through Zoe/Rounder Records. Although Wainwright is no stranger to interesting song names — one track on her self-titled debut was titled "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" — it appears she's now decided to take...
