Reb Fountain - How Love Bends

In March 2025 Reb released her most prolific album to date How Love Bends , to critical acclaim , debuting at #1 on the New Zealand Music Charts and marking a new chapter in her artistic evolution. How Love Bends was #11 in the top 20 albums sales of 2025 and the single ‘ Come Down ’, nominated for single of the year, has 1.7 million streams on Spotify alone, reaffirming her ability to craft music that is both accessible and poetic.

“How Love Bends finally gives Fountain a platform to shine beyond those borders, her songs packing an unsettling emotional punch to rival self-acknowledged hero Nick Cave. Love is a big deal for Fountain, maybe the biggest, and against a backdrop of trip-hop-adjacent noir pop she celebrates its delirium while picking at its scabs of self-doubt. Fountain is Lana Del Rey without the decayed Hollywood glamour, Beth Gibbons contemplating a crime of passion, hurting and smouldering in the most exquisite. “ Andy Fyfe, MOJO
In her new album, How Love Bends , Reb Fountain muses on the transformative power of love. Imprinted with our fear, desire, hurt and hope as much as it is an expression of our suffering and joy, love is an ever-evolving shapeshifter that lives in our marrow; magnetic and emergent it is loosed by its archer to ride on the wind.
Reb’s medium is that of a surrealist, playing with the stories that we tell ourselves she harnesses the sage wisdom of the dream; we embark upon a limitless exploration of love, life and loss within a landscape entirely of Reb’s making. Reb’s love is the stuff of chaos and oceans, vulnerability and revolution; stirring up the depths of the human condition and dancing with the richness of who we really are. Unapologetic, vulnerable, heartbroken and commanding; this is How Love Bends.
How Love Bends is at once haunting and alluring, mystical and triumphant. Reb is a seeker, actively reaching for the expanse. A reverent explorer she traverses the turbulent and tidal with heartbreaking vulnerability and blazen courage. The result is an emergent odyssey; a dynamic dreamscape unfolding and revealing itself mid-evolution. Reb has explored new approaches to songwriting revealing nuanced layers with endless depths.
