It’s not surprising that The War and Treaty, a married duo comprised of Michael and Tanya Trotter, have received comparisons to Ike and Tina Turner. There are a couple of hard-charging, rock and soul originals on the Trotter’s upcoming album, Healing Tide, that recall the dueling vigor of the music the Turners made together. But while Tina Turner’s revelations have made us hear the volatility of her relationship with Ike in the musical heat they generated, the Trotters’ songs “All I Wanna Do” and “Healing Tide” convey an ecstatic, empowering sense of partnership that serves as the duo’s creative engine and core message.

The War And Treaty release their major label debut, The Lover’s Game, featuring ten songs by the husband and wife duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, produced by Dave Cobb.
“There is no greater or higher calling in life than to be conduits of love and that’s exactly what Lover’s Game is to us,” says Tanya of the upcoming release. “From the opening guitar riff to the last piano note on this record…love is the intention and love is the subject that can’t be ignored. We’ve been through every facet of it together and we could not be more excited to share another layer of our story.”
The lead single title track prompted NPR to say that it was “showcasing their genre-crossing essence,” while Music Row said “That’s How Love Is Made” echoes “the sound of pure love that shatters and defies every musical category. The album is the result of an intensively creative period for the couple, which resulted in them writing more than 100 songs before completing the full-length.
