"Better Broken" Album and Previous Performances
The tour is a direct continuation of McLachlan's efforts to promote her tenth studio album, "Better Broken." Released on September 19, 2025, the album has been well-received by fans and critics alike. McLachlan expressed her pride in the new work shortly after its release.
"It’s been many years in the making and I’m so proud to finally be releasing ‘Better Broken’ into the world today. I hope you enjoy listening to these songs as much as I love performing them," she shared on Instagram.
During her fall 2025 tour, McLachlan performed a memorable show at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on November 15. The setlist for that evening included 21 songs, blending new tracks from "Better Broken" with her beloved classics. Fans heard favorites such as “Angel,” “Building A Mystery,” “I Will Remember You,” “Adia,” and “Possession.”
Concert Review Highlights
A review of her Beacon Theatre performance noted, "Whether singing new songs or signatures like the soaring ‘Sweet Surrender,’ McLachlan’s voice was pristine — aching and soothing in all the right places — and made all the more captivating when combined with subtle movements and dramatic stage lighting."
Album Highlights and Sound
The album "Better Broken" opens with its elegant title track, immediately reassuring listeners that McLachlan's vocal power remains as strong as ever. Key tracks on the album include the deeply personal piano ballad “Gravity,” the vulnerable “Only Way Out Is Through,” and the romantic duet “Reminds Me” featuring Katie Gavin.
One song that particularly captures McLachlan's spirited side is "One In A Long Line," described as an angry yet empowering anthem. The album concludes with the triumphant and cathartic "If This Is the End…," providing a powerful finish to the listening experience.
