About Brandi Carlile
Brandi 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.
After pouring herself into collaborations with musical icons and legends, Carlile is looking inward, reflecting backward, and ultimately, returning home on her brand-new album, Returning To Myself—out October 24 on Interscope Records/Lost Highway. Her eighth solo studio album, the record was produced by Carlile, Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner, and Justin Vernon.
The forthcoming album follows Who Believes in Angels?—the universally critically acclaimed collaborative album with her childhood hero, Elton John—which debuted at No. 1 in the U.K. and top 10 in the U.S.
Additionally, Carlile 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. She received her first Oscar nomination in the Original Song category in January 2025 for "Never Too Late," a track written alongside Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Andrew Watt for the Disney+ documentary of the same name, on Elton's life and career.
