| Experimentation is the lifeblood of any artist. But occasionally |
| they experience moments when everything comes into focus, and |
| suddenly they have opened a door to a limitless creative future. |
| |
| Christina Martin has reached that point on her fifth album, |
| æItÆll Be Alright,Æ a 10-song collection that finds the |
| Halifax-based singer-songwriter attaining what her music has |
| always suggested, a place where the ghosts of her musical heroes |
| freely mingle with pop-rockÆs modern architects. |
| |
| The albumÆs brilliance is its seamless blend of the past and |
| present. The bridge between them is MartinÆs voice, an |
| instrument both haunting and immediate, traits that could also |
| best describe æItÆll Be AlrightÆÆs lyrical content. To say the |
| album is MartinÆs most accomplished effort to date is stating |
| the obvious; what is remarkable is how her maturity has |
| translated into her most accessible album to date as well. |
| |
| ôWith this album and the development of the live show, I am able |
| to say a lot more with my music than I ever have before,ö Martin |
| says. ôThere is growth because we are all reaching for something |
| bigger for ourselves and the audience.ö |
| |
| Working closely with her husband Dale Murray (Cuff The Duke, The |
| Guthries), Martin made a conscious effort not to be bound by the |
| expectations of those who have categorized her in the past as an |
| alt-country artist. Although she will never shed those |
| influences, æItÆll Be AlrightÆ utilizes far more sonic textures, |
| allowing Martin to explore the many sides of her musical |
| personality. |
| |
| ôMy father and MTV turned me on to many types of music growing |
| up, but I am probably more driven towards pop and classic rock,ö |
| she says. ôGoing into this record, we were clear that we wanted |
| a bigger, anthemic sound overall. Each song needed to say |
| something that would resonate with a larger audience.ö |
| |
| Born in Florida and raised in CanadaÆs Maritimes, MartinÆs |
| musical journey since her first release in 2002 has led to |
| extended stays in Austin, Texas, as well as Germany, from where |
| she has cultivated a substantial following across mainland |
| Europe. Along the way, she has earned multiple East Coast, and |
| Music Nova Scotia Award nominations, had songs placed in |
| television programs, and even performed for Queen Elizabeth II |
| in Ottawa. |
| |
| ItÆs all set the stage for æItÆll Be Alright,Æ and an ambitious |
| live show that will take Martin and her band around the world |
| throughout 2015. ôIÆve wanted to develop the live production for |
| a long timeö she says, ôwith an aim to create special events |
| that build a strong connection between the audience and the |
| music. We also want to represent this album live as accurately |
| as possible, and that means having an incredible band and team |
| involved. IÆm stepping out of my comfort zone in doing all of |
| this, but thatÆs the exhilarating part of it.ö |
| |
| A powerful album, a killer band, and an unforgettable live |
| experience û for Christina Martin, things are shaping up to be a |
| lot more than alright. |
