Nov 17, 2025Returning to Myself mostly stays subdued, fitting for the material, but Carlile does rock out, most notably on the explicitly U2-inspired “Church & State”.

Oct 24, 2025This is a singer/songwriter record in the classic sense. “Returning to Myself” in this case involves sort of returning to the 1970s, a little bit, when you’d put on an LP by a finger-picking sage and fully expect, however foolishly, that it could change your life. Who knows — this one might, in tiny increments, one acoustic guitar lick or exhortation to live fully at a time.

Oct 24, 2025Returning to Myself does the difficult work of cracking open the soul to let flow Carlile’s vulnerability, sans traces of flagellation; coming back to the studio to lay down new songs following the substantial gap since her 2021 album In These Silent Days, she has a great deal to say, and she says it gently but firmly, with conviction but without forced redress.
