Joanne Shaw Taylor teams with Orianthi on new single

British blues rock guitarist and singer Joanne Shaw Taylor has released a new single, “What Good Is My Love?,” featuring Australian guitarist and singer-songwriter Orianthi. The track is available now via Journeyman Records and serves as the latest preview of Taylor’s forthcoming studio album, which is expected later this year.

Driven by a slow-burning groove and expressive guitar work, “What Good Is My Love?” explores the emotional uncertainty that arises when love is no longer returned. Taylor’s soulful vocals lead the track while Orianthi delivers a powerful guitar solo that reinforces the song’s central theme.

“We’ve probably all been in the position at some point in life when the love we had and give isn’t returned,” Joanne shares. “Whether it’s unrequited or simply fades. I wanted to write a song for those of us who have had to question, “What good is my love if it’s not enough?”

The single follows the recent release of “Hell Or High Water,” a blues gospel-inspired song about perseverance and inner struggle. Both tracks will appear on Taylor’s upcoming album, which builds on the success of her previous release Black & Gold, which was voted to Blues Rock Review’s Top 20 Albums of 2025.

Taylor will also support the new material with an extensive Spring 2026 U.S. tour beginning March 18 in Skokie, Illinois. The run will take the British blues-rock standout across the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Florida before wrapping with a sold-out appearance at Sound Wave Beach Weekend in Miramar Beach.
