Brandi Carlile made her NPR Tiny Desk return after 13 years, and she’s not just resting on her laurels. Ditching her longtime band for the string duo Sistastrings and bassist Solomon Dorsey, she debuted four songs from her new album Returning to Myself. Highlights include the live premiere of the gospel-tinged “A Woman Oversees,” where her voice arcs with both power and grace.
From the gentle strums of “A War with Time” to the introspective title track, Carlile weaves lyrics about family, self-care, and creative rebirth. It’s a performance that feels like a cozy, heartfelt conversation with a superstar friend—one whose restless soul keeps pushing her music into exciting new places.
