Joanne Shaw Taylor unveils “Bad Boy”

Joanne Shaw Taylor has released “Bad Boy,” the latest single from her forthcoming studio album, The Trouble With Love, due out October 23 via Journeyman Records.

The new track is a blues-rock anthem centered on the emotional highs and lows of a toxic relationship, pairing Taylor’s signature guitar work with lyrics about moving beyond heartbreak toward self-confidence and independence.

“Sometimes love is thrilling and destructive at the same time,” Taylor said. “I wrote this song about those intense, complicated relationships.”

“Bad Boy” is the latest preview of The Trouble With Love, which was produced by Kevin Shirley. The album explores love from multiple perspectives while blending blues, rock, soul and Americana influences.

The single follows a series of previously released tracks from the album, including the title track featuring Joe Bonamassa, “What Good Is My Love?” featuring Orianthi, “Hell Or High Water,” “This Is Who I Am” and “Tired Of Being Right.”
