Brandi Carlile brought her powerful voice and emotional delivery to Saturday Night Live (SNL) last week, performing two songs from her latest solo album "Returning to Myself". The Grammy-winning artist has been on a creative high since releasing the album last week, which marks her first solo effort in four years.
Carlile's performance featured a poignant rendition of "Church & State", a song she co-wrote with Andrew Watt and twin brothers Phil and Tim Hanseroth. The lyrics tackle themes of disillusionment and disconnection in today's world, with Carlile delivering the emotional lyrics with conviction. The video of her performance is now live on SNL's YouTube channel.
The album "Returning to Myself" was released after a period of collaboration and touring with other artists, including Elton John and Joni Mitchell, as well as fronting the country supergroup Highwomen. Carlile recently spoke about the creative energy she felt during this time, stating that everyone came out of the pandemic with toxic emotions and she sought to express herself on her latest album.
Carlile also performed "Human" from her new solo album, which comes after years of collaboration and touring with other artists. The song is a powerful statement on resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. Like the rest of the "Returning to Myself" album, it showcases Carlile's storytelling ability and her commitment to exploring themes that resonate deeply with listeners.
Carlile has been a musical guest on SNL four times previously and has become a regular presence on late-night television. Her latest tour, called The Human Tour, is set to kick off in February on the East Coast, before heading to Ireland, the U.K., and mainland Europe later this fall.

it gives me chills every time she sings about those toxic emotions and finding her way back to herself... i mean her latest album is like a breath of fresh air after the pandemic, you know? everyone needs that reminder that we're all in this together and we gotta keep pushing forward 
it's so inspiring to see her pour her heart out on stage and connect with everyone watching. i'm so hyped for her tour now, can't wait to hear those powerful vocals live 
she's always been a talented singer-songwriter but I don't get what's so special about her new album "Returning to Myself". is it just because she's been low-key working on music for years and now people are finally giving her the attention? 
also, i'm not sure if I love the emotional delivery on that one song "church & state"... feels like a bit of a downer, you know? but hey, at least it's getting people talking and Brandi Carlile's definitely talented 
Brandi Carlile slayed on SNL! I was totally blown away by her performance of "Church & State" 
It's so inspiring to see her use her powerful voice to tackle tough themes like disillusionment and disconnection in today's world. The way she delivered the lyrics with conviction gave me chills every time 
Can't wait for her tour to come to a city near me! 
You know what really struck me about Brandi Carlile's SNL performance? It made me realize how much we need more honest voices in music today 
... like hers, which speak truth to power (or rather, our own emotions) and remind us that we're not alone in feeling lost or disconnected. She's not just singing these powerful songs; she's giving us permission to feel them too 
Just heard that Brandi Carlile's album "Returning to Myself" had a 4-day delay release due to mastering issues 
and now it's already getting overshadowed by the Grammy nominations snub 
her voice is just so raw and emotional, it's like she's pouring her heart out on stage. I love how she tackled those tough lyrics about disillusionment and disconnection in today's world... we need more artists like Brandi Carlile who aren't afraid to speak their truth 
I loved how she connected with the audience on Saturday Night Live, it felt like we were all singing along together 
. Her latest album "Returning to Myself" is really resonating with people and I think it's because she's not holding back - her emotions are raw and real 
. Anyway, I'm so excited for her The Human Tour - I've already got my tickets 
!
i also love that her new album "Returning to Myself" is all about tackling disillusionment and disconnection in today's world, it's so relatable 
. Can't wait to see what's next for Brandi Carlile! 
can't wait for her tour in Feb - gonna be a long night, but worth it 
the thing is, music has this way of connecting us all, and Brandy's voice just hits so hard 
! She brought so much emotion to her SNL performance it gave me chills 
. I love how she's not afraid to tackle tough topics like disillusionment and disconnection - it's clear she's speaking from the heart 
. And that voice of hers? Absolutely stunning 
, it's like she's bottling up all the emotions we're not allowed to express in this world 
. Anyway, can't wait for The Human Tour to hit my city! 
. And let's be real, her voice is giving me LIFE 
. I'm also loving how she's not afraid to express herself and share those toxic emotions from after the pandemic 
but I'm having trouble understanding why she wrote "Church & State" about disillusionment and disconnection... doesn't that sound kinda negative? isn't her music usually all about hope and empowerment? I'd love to see a source or some context on this one
