Brandi Carlile<\/a> issued her first solo album in four years, Returning To Myself<\/a>, through Interscope Records\/Lost Highway. Carlile co-produced Returning To Myself with a trio of notable producers: Andrew Watt<\/a>,
The National\u2019s Aaron Dessner<\/a> and Bon Iver\u2019s Justin Vernon<\/a>. Other contributors include Carlile\u2019s longtime bandmates Phil Hanseroth and Tim Hanseroth<\/a>, as well as SistaStrings<\/a>, Josh Klinghoffer<\/a>, Chad Smith<\/a>, Matt Chamberlain<\/a>, Dave Mackay<\/a>, Rob Moose<\/a>, Blake Mills<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n

While Carlile has worked with music legends like Joni Mitchell<\/a> and Elton John<\/a> over the past few years, the aptly titled Returning to Myself is Brandi\u2019s first solo record since releasing In These Silent Days in 2021. However, introspection isn\u2019t necessarily Brandi\u2019s favorite thing to do, as she explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not my favorite person to spend my time with. Returning to myself is not just a lonely, but a painfully boring thing to do. So much so that I\u2019m actually not at all interested in doing it. I prefer to double, triple, and quadruple down on co-dependency, which I\u2019ve come to learn that outside of 12-Step programs and junior high school relationships, isn\u2019t really that unhealthy at all\u2026<\/p>\n

For me the key to learning to \u2018be alone\u2019 is not being alone at all. It\u2019s being alone in a crowded room. It\u2019s hearing an unexpected doorbell ring and wondering who has shown up to watch me read my book and bite my nails all day. That a guest can be a deep lean-in over a cheap bottle of wine or simply an eyebrow raise and a gesture toward the refrigerator while I play Zelda\u2026where I totally choose myself with someone so close to me I can hear them relax.<\/p>\n

People want to be together in silence more than we allow in our time. It\u2019s falling deeply in love with the car wheels on a gravel road. The possibility of the visitor. The \u201cnot being alone-ness\u201d of it all\u2026<\/p>\n

Togetherness has given me everything I love about being alive. Starting with my original family in a single wide mobile home, gathered around a wood stove all the way to living with my band, haunting my wife everywhere she goes, raising my children on a tour bus, learning at the feet of Joni Mitchell, to making music with my greatest hero of all time, Elton John.<\/p>\n

Why is it heroic to untether, when the tense work of togetherness is so much more interesting?<\/p>\n

\u2026because I don\u2019t want to do it. Because I don\u2019t want to return to myself.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s why I will.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brandi Carlile issued her first solo album in four years, Returning To Myself, through Interscope Records\/Lost Highway.
