Today's Top Tune: Patrick Watson ‘House on Fire (Feat. Martha Wainwright)’

Singer-songwriter, film composer, and pianist Patrick Watson has shared “House on Fire,” a stunning new collaboration with Martha Wainwright and a preview of his forthcoming album Uh Oh, out September 26. Written during a period when Watson temporarily lost his ability to sing (and completed alongside Wainwright) the track unfolds as a deeply moving duet. Carried by a sweeping string arrangement, their interwoven harmonies heighten the song’s emotional tension, with Wainwright’s powerful, multi-octave voice beautifully contrasting Watson’s tender tenor.
