Canadian-born Sarah McLachlan has announced her first new album in over a decade, Better Broken, and shared a video for its title track, via Concord. Check out the video and album details below.

McLachlan has been on the scene since releasing her debut Touch in 1989 and officially took off into stardom with her 1997 album Surfacing, featuring the hit “Angel.” Since then, she has founded the Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Vancouver, which provides free music instruction for over 1000 children and youth facing barriers to access each year, and released five more full-lengths, leaving off with the 2016 Christmas album Wonderland.

McLachlan spoke on the album in a press release. “A lot of the lyrics on this record came from thinking about the world right now and asking, ‘How do we move through this landscape? How do we keep our heads above water when it feels like so much is falling apart?’ I don’t know if I have any answers, but channeling all that angst and uncertainty into the music has been so cathartic. I hope that this record provides people with some relief and release—but in the end I just want them to take whatever they need from it, and make the songs part of their own story.”
