British blues-rock artist Joanne Shaw Taylor returns today with a stirring new single, ‘What Good Is My Love?‘, featuring acclaimed Australian guitarist and singer-songwriter Orianthi. Out now via Journeyman Records, the emotionally charged track pairs two of modern blues rock’s most formidable guitarists for a dynamic and deeply personal collaboration.

Driven by a slow-burning groove and soaring guitar interplay, ‘What Good Is My Love?‘ explores the painful uncertainty that comes when love is no longer reciprocated. Joanne’s soulful vocals, while Orianthi’s stunning guitar solo, carries the weight of the song’s central question, capturing the vulnerability of realizing that even the deepest devotion may not always be enough.

“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 track unfolds with a simmering intensity before erupting into electrifying guitar exchanges between Joanne and Orianthi, whose fiery playing adds another dimension to the song’s emotional arc. The pairing of their distinct styles creates a striking musical dialogue, blending raw blues grit with soaring melodic leads. Together, they deliver a performance that balances heartbreak with defiant strength, turning personal reflection into an anthemic moment of catharsis.

‘What Good Is My Love?‘ arrives as the latest preview of Joanne’s forthcoming studio album, due out later this year. The single follows the recent release of ‘Hell Or High Water‘, a blues gospel anthem about perseverance and inner struggle, gaining momentum across streaming platforms and radio.

The upcoming album builds on the momentum of Joanne’s critically acclaimed ‘Black & Gold‘, which drew widespread praise upon its release. Classic Rock Magazine awarded the album a 9/10 rating, while Powerplay Magazine highlighted its “pop appeal and smoothness.” Guitarist Magazine noted that it “reinforces Joanne’s place in the firmament of today’s brightest stars,” and American Blues Scene called it “a deeply personal experience, showcasing the depth of Joanne’s artistry.” Together with the ‘Black & Gold (Deluxe Edition)‘ and a run of acoustic reinterpretations, the album marked a major creative milestone in Joanne’s career.

The new single arrives as Joanne prepares to launch her Spring 2026 U.S. headline tour, bringing her electrifying live show to audiences across the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Florida. The run begins March 18^th in Skokie, IL and includes stops in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Indiana, Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Florida, culminating with a sold-out appearance at Sound Wave Beach Weekend in Miramar Beach.
