Chantel McGregor has announced details of her new album and shared the first single and accompanying video.
The new album will supported be a UK tour including a Manchester gig at Night and Day.
New single Broken Heartless Liar marks the first release from Chantel McGregor’s upcoming third studio album. The album, The Healing, will land in May.
The Healing promises to show a new side to Chantel McGregor, musically and emotionally. “This is definitely a rock album – not a blues album,” stresses Chantel. “It’s heavy and dark and it introduces elements of prog-rock, which is a form of music I absolutely love.”
Joining Chantel McGregor on the album are regular band-mates Colin Sutton (bass) and Thom Gardner (drums). Oli Brown co-produces with fellow The Dead Collective member Wayne Proctor handling mixing and mastering.
The first taste of the album, Broken Heartless Liar, marks a defiant, raw rock anthem filled. “It captures the moment you realise the person you loved never really valued you, just took what they could while giving nothing in return” she explains. “The song moves from heartbreak to clarity, shifting from the pain of betrayal to the strength of walking away. It’s about breaking free from the lies and emotional wreckage and choosing empowerment over staying trapped in something toxic.”
Chantel McGregor will release The Healing on 23 May 2025.
