\n\tBrandi Carlile<\/a>\u2018s homecoming is here. The musician will release her eighth studio album Returning to Myself, her first solo LP in four years, on Oct. 24. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not my favorite person to spend my time with,\u201d Carlile said in a statement about the LP. \u201cReturning 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.\u201d Still, the record\u2019s title track, out now with an accompanying music video directed by Floria Sigismondi, settles into an expanse of solitude.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarlile created Returning to Myself with Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner, and Justin Vernon. Her bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth, SistaStrings, Josh Klinghoffer, Chad Smith, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Mackay, Rob Moose, Blake Mills, Mark Isham, and Stewart Cole also contributed to the record. The tight-knit crew of collaborators speak to the lessons the album taught Carlile about what it means to be alone. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor 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,\u201d she said. \u201cThat 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added: \u201cTogetherness 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. Why is it heroic to untether, when the tense work of togetherness is so much more interesting? \u2026because I don\u2019t want to do it. Because I don\u2019t want to return to myself. And that\u2019s why I will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReturning to Myself contains 10 songs and follows 2021\u2019s In These Silent Days and Who Believes in Angels,<\/a> the collaborative record Carlile released with Elton John earlier this year. <\/p>\n
