“Abigail writes songs that stop you right in your tracks.” — Brooklyn Vegan

Toronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with More Songs About Love, the extended companion to her JUNO-nominated 2024 album Anniversary. An evocative collection of original love songs, Anniversary was produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker and recorded at 200-year-old St Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Dekker helped shape the sessions’ spooky, resonant sound and also lent his voice to a couple of spellbinding duets.

Balancing upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads, More Songs About Love adds eight new stripped-down tracks to the collection. Combining cynical and sentimental elements, the collection ultimately emerges as an earnest celebration of love. Anniversary & More Songs About Love is out May 3, 2025 on Outside Music.

Over the past six years and four spellbinding releases, Lapell has garnered four Canadian Folk Music Awards and accrued a staggering 60 million streams across online platforms. She tours regularly across Canada, the U.S. and Europe.  Friday May 22.
