Christina Martin is a powerhouse musician, songsmith, and performer hailing from the windswept East Coast of Canada. Her music dances effortlessly through Pop, Rock, Folk and Americana traditions but stays deftly unchained by any one label, refusing to be pigeon-holed and unafraid to dip into stranger waters. From her Austin-inflected 2002 debut Pretty Things, through more rousing rocky climbs such as 2015's It'll Be Alright, to the sweeping cinematic dreamscape of 2018's Impossible to Hold, Martin is an artist who is constantly shifting, and constantly evolving. Through it all runs a backbone of raw honesty about the human condition. Be they personal confessions or narrative tales, each song is lovingly crafted, and hits in the heart like a well-thrown punch. With a brand new album on the way, promising to be more sweeping and orchestral than ever before, Christina Martin is going from strength to strengthSinger, songwriter and storm-maker Christina Martin is back, releasing lead single "Stay with Me" from her upcoming eighth studio album Storm, slated for a Fall 2022 launch.

Pounding, titanic and tender all at once, "Stay with Me" is a string-drenched anthem that reaches new dizzying heights for the Canadian songweaver, and kicks open the doors for the masterclass album to follow.

"The muse for this song came in a pre-pandemic dream," Martin shares. "I saw a girl wander a cobblestone city-street, through thick fog and moonlit night, and heard a familiar melody and the line 'stay with me.'

"Unlike in dreams where I sometimes feel trapped in terrifying scenarios, with this song I found a space to purge my fears, and then coax myself to a better place."
