Laura Marling is as intimate as ever on new single ‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can’

Songwriting luminary Laura Marling has today shared ‘No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can’, a beautifully earnest new cut from her forthcoming eighth album, ‘Patterns In Repeat’ (which is due to hit shelves on 25th October via Chrysalis/Partisan Records). 

The follow up to 2020’s ‘Song For Our Daughter’, the new LP finds Laura reflecting on family dynamics, generational links, and the ever-evolving nature of womanhood following the birth of her (actual) daughter in 2023. 

“For the first time in my life, I was able to gaze into another human’s eyes as I wrote,” she has said of the process of creating ‘Patterns In Repeat’. “Of course, new parents feel like they discovered that feeling - one of the very finest that life has to offer, of looking into the eyes of your child and feeling the enormity of the picture as a whole, the enormity of a precarious life, celestial, fragile and extraordinary, taking its place among the comparatively banal constellation of a family. 

“This banal constellation seems to have dominated the writing of Patterns in Repeat - the drama of the domestic sphere, the frail threads that bind a family together, the good intentions we hold onto for our progeny and the many and various ways they get lost in time. So much complexity in the banal, the caged, the everyday.”
