Memphis Love is the eighth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Vanessa Amorosi. It was released through Dave Stewart's Bay Street Records label on 17 November 2023.[4]

Background[edit]

Memphis Love was recorded mainly at Willie Mitchell's Royal Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Before the album's release, Wolf and How Long, a cover of Ace's 1947 song, were published as singles and videos on September 1[5] and October 27, 2023,[6] respectively. The Tennessee Mass Choir is featured on the songs Wolf, Lift Us Up, Don't Judge Me, and Serious. The album was originally supposed to be released in 2017[7] after Amorosi and Stewart worked on it since 2016.[8] They recorded with some of Al Green's collaborators: Organist Charles Hodges, Keyboardist and Arranger Lester Snell, Bassist Jimi Kinnard, Guitarist Michael Toles, Trumpetist Scott Thompson, and Saxophonists Jim Spake and Lannie McMillan.[9][1]
