Stream/purchase HERE (Interscope Records/Lost Highway). Continuing to receive overwhelming critical attention, Carlile recently returned to NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and NBC’s Saturday Night Live as musical guest for the fourth time, was featured on The Howard Stern Show, NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin and The Drew Barrymore Show, and spoke with The New York Times, who declares, “It has the luster and confidence of an artist realizing her prime, finding memory and maturity in the lyrics.”
Critical acclaim for Returning To Myself:
“Carlile is a bona fide superstar whose compositions feel like instant classics”—NPR Music
“One of her finest efforts and one of the best albums of the year”—Variety
“Lush crooning”—The New Yorker
“It’s a record about navigating the second half of life with fortitude and not fear; and how the best way to do that is to remember where we came from, and who we got there with.”
—Rolling Stone
“Remarkable…a mid-life crisis has never sounded quite this poetic”—Billboard
“For an artist already established as one of her generation’s brightest songwriters, this represents another significant evolution”—Rolling Stone U.K.
“Carlile’s eighth album does the difficult work of cracking open the soul to let flow her vulnerability. The songs succeed in their tasks: bringing her into a fresh creative moment where she flourishes”—Paste
“Stunning, introspective…feels like reuniting with an old friend”—A.V. Club
“A pearl from the new queen of Laurel Canyon…it never sounds less than gorgeous”—MOJO
“It’s a record of reinvention and rediscovery, filled with songs unlike any Carlile has made before, often leaning into her singer-songwriter side but painting with a different sonic palette”
—The Seattle Times
“An album full of warmth and humanity”—The London Standard
“The grounding factor of this album, though it is undoubtedly an evolution, is Carlile’s soul-touching voice and signature lyricism”—American Songwriter
The new record follows Who Believes in Angels?, the universally praised collaborative album with her childhood hero Elton John, which debuted at #1 in the U.K. and top 10 in the U.S., and is nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Carlile is also nominated for Best Song Written For Visual Media at next month’s awards for “Never Too Late,” a track written alongside Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Andrew Watt for the Disney+ documentary of the same name.
Carlile is an Oscar-nominated and 11x Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer and producer, 2x EMMY Award-winning composer, lyricist and writer, #1 New York Times Bestselling author and activist, who is known as one of music’s most respected voices. Throughout her acclaimed career, Carlile has released eight studio albums and continues her work as a renowned producer with recent Grammy Award-winning projects from Joni Mitchell and Brandy Clark. She also produced and recorded a rendition of Indigo Girls’ “Closer To Fine” with her wife, Catherine, which was included on Barbie The Album as well as a version of “Home,” which was featured in the final season of Ted Lasso.
Beloved by her peers, Carlile has collaborated with artists such as The Highwomen, Soundgarden, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Hozier, Noah Kahan, Jacob Collier, P!nk and Dolly Parton. Carlile was named OUT Magazine’s 2023 “Icon of the Year,” awarded Billboard’s Women In Music “Trailblazer Award,” CMT’s Next Women of Country “Impact Award” and NMPA’s 2023 Songwriter Icon Award and received multiple recognitions from the Americana Music Association.
