Returning to Myself by Brandi Carlile
Returning to Myself is an album by Brandi Carlile, released in 2025. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 17 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Returning To Myself”, on 8 lists with a best position of #16.
Returning to Myself, Brandi Carlile's eighth studio album, arrived on October 24, 2025, through Interscope and Lost Highway, and the producer credits alone tell you she was in the mood to wander: Carlile herself alongside Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon. The title track led the way as the first single back in September, with a video directed by Floria Sigismondi.
The sound stretches her Americana roots toward something stranger, alt-country warmth brushing up against electronic textures, and the lyrics go looking for big answers, which critics singled out as philosophical and spiritual. "Human" and "Church and State" filled out the radio side. It gave her a fifth top-ten album on the Billboard 200 and her third appearance on the UK albums chart, four years after In These Silent Days.
