That might not have been intentional on her part, but it has been 11 years since \u201cShine On\u201d came out, and while she never thought that she was completely done with record-making, the singer-songwriter did have some feelings in recent years that perhaps the next one she was gradually developing could be a swan song of sorts, at least in full album form. Fortunately, once she really got into making \u201cBetter Broken,\u201d nothing about it seemed like a broken record to her, and McLachlan says she\u2019s fallen back in love with the studio. That\u2019s music to the ears of fans of one of popular music\u2019s most beautiful voices, which shouldn\u2019t <em>only<\/em> be heard reprising her classic \u201cFumbling Towards Ecstasy\u201d album on a still-ongoing 30th anniversary tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe new \u201cBetter Broken\u201d album, which comes out Sept. 19, deals with other affairs of the heart, including one particularly rough breakup and the more solid relationship that has supplanted it. But \u201cGravity,\u201d a preview track that had a new video come out today, is about the love of family\u2026 and how that can be at least as harrowing as the romantic kind. McLachlan has already been playing \u201cGravity\u201d at road shows and telling fans about how it reflects an emotional rift with one of her daughters that has since passed. Now a wider audience will get to hear and relate with this particularly revealing ballad.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sarah McLachlan - Gravity (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qPNof5tXQ5o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMcLachlan spoke with <em>Variety<\/em> about \u201cGravity\u201d and what it means to her and her family to make this tune public, as well as the already-released title track for \u201cBetter Broken\u201d; a forthcoming duet with Muna\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/katie-gavin\/\" id=\"auto-tag_katie-gavin\" data-tag=\"katie-gavin\">Katie Gavin<\/a>; and some new material that laments the setbacks women are facing in the current sociopolitical climate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>You\u2019ve been on a \u201cFumbling Towards Ecstasy\u201d anniversary tour, but you also did a smaller, under-the-radar live show here In Los Angeles recently where you played most of your new songs live for some fans for the first time. What was it like to perform that much new stuff at once?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt was fantastic. As an artist, I always want to have new material to keep it interesting for me. I love my old songs and I\u2019m happy to play them, but as much as I play live, I really enjoy having new stuff to bring new energy to the performance for me. I\u2019m also fully aware that people don\u2019t know the songs, so there\u2019s not as much of an attachment, but for me, I\u2019m deeply attached to these new songs, as I\u2019ve been living and breathing them for the last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tI love being in the studio and I love that process of discovery, of figuring out where the song needs and wants to go, and I just kind of fell in love with it all again. And it\u2019s been 11 years since new material. I put out a Christmas record (2016\u2019s \u201cWonderland\u201d), but it doesn\u2019t really count because even though there\u2019s the production of it, someone else wrote the song, so it was pressing the easy button to a certain degree. And these songs were sort of a combination of the last 11 years \u2014 one might say 13, because \u201cBetter Broken\u201d (the title track) actually was started 13 years ago and I forgot about it. When I was going through the archives, I pulled it out and played it for Tony and Will, and they\u2019re like, \u201cWhy? Why\u2019d you wait till the end to play us this one?\u201d It\u2019s like, \u201cWell, because I kind of forgot about it.\u201d But they\u2019re all postcards of places I\u2019ve been at in my life emotionally. And so it\u2019s really sweet to be able to be on the other side of so much of this and just feel nothing but freedom and joy in performing them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>You\u2019ve said that you had thought maybe this might be your last album, until once you got going on it and thought that, no, of course you want to do this regularly again. Does that accurately describe where you were at?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYeah, I think you\u2019re right. Being out of the game for so long and just not making new music, not being in that stream, I think I\u2019m fully aware of what it takes to get back into the game after being out for a long time, too. And it\u2019s a lot of work. But, you know, beats the hell out of digging ditches. I think I did have a lot of trepidation also just about how the world is, and the state of the world socially and how you say one thing wrong and you get canceled. So I was a little bit nervous about that because I don\u2019t want to have to edit myself or be cautious about talking about the things I believe in, and that gave me pause, just (on top of) being out of the game for so long. But like you said, once I got back into the studio and started recording, I was reminded of how much I loved that process and thought, \u201cWhat? That was ridiculous. Why would I say I\u2019d never make another record again or never make music again?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>You worked with two new producers, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/tony-berg\/\" id=\"auto-tag_tony-berg\" data-tag=\"tony-berg\">Tony Berg<\/a> and Will Maclellan. Was that something you did reluctantly at first or enthusiastically? Because you had kept your creative collaborations so close to the vest up till now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYou know, it\u2019s like blind dating . I worked with Pierre (Marchand) for so many years and I love what we created. But I thought, if this is the last record I make, I feel like I owe it to myself to stretch myself and to step out of my comfort zone and work with other people. And I met Tony first and then Will after, but I just instantly had a great connection with him and felt that he was a musical encyclopedia. He\u2019d worked with so many people in so many different genres of music and just had a wonderful sensibility about him. I remember playing him one song that had a number of different inversions and chord changes, and he sat down at the piano and played almost the entire thing back to me, after hearing it once, and said, \u201cWell, what do you think about maybe putting a chord like this in that spot?\u201d I was like, \u201cOh God, you just made the song better. Okay, this could be good.\u201d And it just went from there. Both him and Will are so creative and so joyful about the process, and there\u2019s no ego attached to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Let\u2019s talk about the song \u201cGravity\u201d specifically, as the single that is coming out this week. Why did that stick out to you as a song to advance the new album with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tI think it\u2019s one of the strongest tracks, if not the strongest track, on the record. It\u2019s highly emotional, and because I\u2019ve had the opportunity to play it to other people for a year or two, the connection that people have had to it has been pretty immediate and intense. \u201cBetter Broken\u201d was the first single, which was, if not that much of a departure, a little more kind of vibey and groovy. So this is sort of back to a little bit of the more traditional balladeering that I\u2019m kind of known for. This felt like the strongest track, and I picked the three (pre-release singles) that seemed like the strongest and people had the most attachment to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAnd I love playing this song because of the challenges that I went through with my firstborn daughter. It feels really sweet to be able to sing this song and know that we\u2019re in such a better place, having come through this really challenging time together. (In a press statement, McLachlan said of the song: \u201c\u201cFor a long time my daughter and I had a very combative and fraught relationship, and what I came to realize is that so much of what I perceived as obstinance or rage was actually masking a ton of anxiety on her part. We went to counseling together, and I learned that she felt so alone and unvalidated by me\u2014which was devastating to hear, but it led us both to change the way we communicate with each other. I wrote \u2018Gravity\u2019 as a way of saying to her, \u2018I\u2019ve always loved you and want the best for you, and you\u2019re perfect the way you are.\u2019\u201d)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>We can assume, since this is about your relationship with your daughter, that you ran it by her and asked if she was fine if you talked about how it reflects the two of you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOh, absolutely. I played it for her and said, \u201cListen, how do you feel about me talking about this?\u201d And she was like, \u201cOh, I\u2019m completely fine with it.\u201d And I mean, she\u2019s a massive advocate for family systems counseling and is very open about what she\u2019s gleaned from it. She talks about our experience as well \u2014 she\u2019s very open about it. I continue to check in with her. Obviously I\u2019m talking about it now and it\u2019s gonna be out there, and I\u2019m just going to check in again and say, \u201cHey, are you still cool with me discussing this, and in a very open manner?\u201d Because it\u2019s one thing for me to talk about the way I feel about something, but when you\u2019re including someone else\u2019s challenges in something that\u2019s as public as this, yeah, I definitely want to keep making sure that she\u2019s OK with it. But so far she said she\u2019s fine with it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>When you are introducing it in concert and talk about how angry your daughter was at you for a long time, it\u2019s easy to imagine a lot of the audience sitting there going, \u201cWhat? Sarah McLachlan is an angel. I wish she was my mom.\u201d So it\u2019s probably good for people to hear that even people they idealize have challenges in their family relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAbsolutely. And I think that\u2019s one of the most beautiful things about music as well, and the arts in general, is that something could be articulated that you can\u2019t quite put your finger on, or you hear something or read something that makes you feel less alone. I mean, that\u2019s one of the gifts that the arts provide. And for me, the feedback has been, \u201cOh my God, I have had such challenges with my daughter, too. This song just reminds me of that, but it also makes me feel grateful that I\u2019m not alone in this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Y<\/strong><strong>ou said you picked three songs with which to preview the album, and \u201cBetter Broken\u201d was first and \u201cGravity\u201d is coming now. What\u2019s the third one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cReminds Me\u201d is going to be the single that comes out right as the record is released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>That is your duet with Katie Gavin, of Muna. Why did you pick her to be your vocal counterpart on that song?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWell, Tony produced her (solo) record and Will engineered it, and of course my world was being opened up to a ton of amazing musicians that they use. I kind of fell in love with Katie\u2019s voice and was trying to come up with something a little less obvious when we wanted to do a duet and we were thinking about voices. Tony actually suggested, \u201cWhat about Katie?\u201d I\u2019m like, \u201cOh, that\u2019s a great idea.\u201d The idea is to turn it on its nose a little bit, and instead of it being a traditional love song, let it just be a <em>love song<\/em>. And particularly in these times when rights are being challenged and stripped away, I thought this is a wonderful opportunity to show that love is love and it shows up in all sorts of different ways, and we should celebrate the <em>all <\/em>of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>You\u2019ve said this album includes some songs that represent a long period of time in your life. When you were introducing the new songs at your Masonic Lodge show, there were breakup songs and there were songs about the flush of love, and they all seemed so fresh. But when you were doing the love songs, I thought, well, maybe these came earlier, in the more idyllic stages of the relationship that generated the breakup songs. And then I realized, no, the more upbeat songs reflect a subsequent relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYeah, that\u2019s an old relationship, the breakup songs. Actually, there was almost an entire record of breakup songs. I had sort of put them away for a long time and then played a lot of them for Tony and Will. But upon hearing them back again, I was like, \u201cI don\u2019t want to give that any more attention.\u201d Plus it was so long ago, I didn\u2019t feel any attachment to the songs anymore, and quite frankly, they weren\u2019t that good. So I had a moment of \u201cOh shit, now I have to go and write a bunch more material,\u201d when I thought I was ready to make a record. But as it turned out it, the vibe was so creative that it was really quite easy to take a number of song ideas that were just sort of percolating and finish them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Everybody loves a good breakup song, even if we haven\u2019t broken up in a while. \u201cBetter Broken\u201d counts in that category, it seems like.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOh, absolutely, yeah. But that\u2019s about really recognizing that being on the other side of it is so much sweeter, and that we don\u2019t get to that place in our lives unscathed. You have to go through hard things and challenges and struggles to come out on the other side. The hope is you\u2019re better for it and you learn from it and you move on and make better choices.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sarah McLachlan - Better Broken (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LwpmikfHzo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>Then there the songs that are a little bit topical, or at least more societally oriented. You mentioned that you had a hesitation about speaking up in a song because we are in a time where everything is under a microscope and people have instantaneous reactions that can blow up. But in spite of however you were thinking about that, you put songs on the album like \u201cOne in a Long Line.\u201d Your daughters are on that song, which is interesting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWell, it\u2019s talking about how women\u2019s rights are being stripped away, and it\u2019s sort of my anger and frustration at witnessing this and going, OK, what\u2019s my place in this as a mother, as a woman? As a songwriter, I have a platform and I have an opinion about this, and this is how I choose to voice it. And the fact that I had both my daughters on there \u2026 I\u2019m no longer of childbearing years, but my daughters are, and I want them to have agency and choice over their bodies and what happens to them, as I do for all women. So that song for me was an opportunity to speak out, and to have my daughters on it was beautiful and amazing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYou know, it\u2019s generational as I talk about all the things our mothers and their mothers before them struggled with and fought for, for the freedoms that we kind of have taken for granted today, up until this point, where things are shifting and changing once again, sadly. So, yeah, I felt like this was a important thing for me to talk about and be open about. And \u201cRise\u201d is another one of those same things.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut, you know, I\u2019m really optimistic and a hopeful person and I always try and look for the good in people, and that\u2019s an important thing for me to continue to do even when I\u2019m angry or upset or I disagree with what people are doing or saying. Continuing to search for the humanity in people, I think, is the only way. If we just sit on opposite ends of the spectrum and point fingers and are angry with each other, I don\u2019t think anything\u2019s gonna progress forward. We have to build bridges and figure out how to communicate and have to find the humanity in each other. I mean, maybe that sounds a little bit woo-woo and utopian right now, but I really do believe that that\u2019s the only way through. And so I am continuing to be hopeful and try and see the good in people and try and find commonalities instead of continually selling division, because I just don\u2019t think that gets us anywhere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>For all the hope of finding commonality, does this feel like a time where people who are Canadian are especially proud to be Canadian, given what\u2019s happening further south?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tOh, absolutely. I mean, I\u2019ve always been a proud Canadian. We have our challenges, for sure, as do all, but I think the fundamental concepts of our society are pretty amazing and still pretty strong. And I do think that some of the stuff that\u2019s going on in the States has really galvanized us together as Canadians. We have, as I said, a lot of issues as well, and a lot of division happening, but this in some ways has brought us together, and I\u2019m very happy that that\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBut again, people ask me, \u201cAre you gonna boycott touring the States because of this?\u201d I\u2019m like, no, there\u2019s lots of good people all over the world and lots of good people in America, and these are my fans. Why would I stop spreading good energy and joy and love and humanity and all the things that I care about and want to support? We need to keep building bridges, and I think music does that: It brings people together who might have very different opinions, but for a moment we can all be reminded that we\u2019re pretty basic, and ultimately we do need together to survive. We need to figure out a way through together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  size-large alignnone\">\n<figure class=\"o-figure  lrv-u-font-family-secondary u-color-medium-grey lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-light-grey-tint-two u-margin-b-150 lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:1024px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<p>\t\t\t<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-t-1 lrv-u-padding-b-1\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-line-height-normal lrv-u-font-size-14 lrv-u-font-family-accent u-letter-spacing-007-rem u-margin-b-050\">Sarah McLachlan <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"u-color-medium-grey lrv-a-font-secondary-regular-xxs\">Kharen Hill<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<strong>There is a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/lilith-fair\/\" id=\"auto-tag_lilith-fair\" data-tag=\"lilith-fair\">Lilith Fair<\/a> documentary coming out (premiering at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 17, debuting on Hulu Sept. 21).
