The Halifax-born singer-songwriter once shattered boundaries with her Lilith Fair tour by empowering a generation of female voices.
But lately, as she prepares her first album of original material in a decade, she is questioning how to voice her opinions on social and political issues. “I’ve always considered myself to not be political, but I’m not sure any of us have the luxury any more,” she said in a phone interview from her Vancouver home.McLachlan is still figuring out exactly what that means to her. She’s currently in the studio with producer Tony Berg, known for his work on the Boygenius album, to shape her ideas into a record.
She'll also embark on a North American tour next month that celebrates the 30th anniversary of “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy,” performing the album in its entirety. The shows kick off in Vancouver on May 23 with additional Canadian dates in Toronto on June 19 and Montreal on June 20. McLachlan spoke with The Canadian Press about revisiting her 1993 album, recording a new one, and deciding when to speak out.Playing one of your albums front-to-back is something you haven’t tried before, and it makes sense to pick “Fumbling,” since it includes “Possession,” “Hold On,” and fan favourite “Ice Cream.” But what made you want to hit the road for this one in particular?There’s a ton of nostalgia around it for me and probably a lot of people. I think it’s my favourite record.
