Sarah McLachlan releases new single ‘All This Disaster’
Three-time Grammy Award winner Sarah McLachlan released her new single, “All This Disaster,” via Concord Records on Friday. The track follows the release of her critically acclaimed album, “Better Broken,” which debuted last fall as her first new studio work in nearly a decade.
The song originated from an acoustic guitar groove McLachlan had considered for several years before collaborating with producers Tony Berg and Will Maclellan. McLachlan eventually reached out to Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet to assist with the writing process.
“I sent the song to him, and he came up with some great simple lyrics and, from there, the song came together quickly,” McLachlan said. “It feels like summer, driving, top down, leaving all your cares behind, if only for a while.”
The release comes amid a busy period for the artist, who recently performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and appeared on the podcast “Good Hang with Amy Poehler.” Her career and the legacy of Lilith Fair were also recently chronicled in the documentary “Lilith Fair: Building A Mystery – The Untold Story,” which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
McLachlan is scheduled to launch her “Better Broken Summer Tour” on July 1, featuring special guest Allison Russell. The itinerary includes performances at several landmark venues, such as Forest Hills Stadium in New York, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, and a two-night stand at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The tour will conclude Aug. 9 at the Chateau Ste Michelle Winery in Woodinville, Washington.
Throughout her 30-year career, McLachlan has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide. She remains active in philanthropy through the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which provides free music education to underserved youth. The artist announced that $1 from every ticket sold for the upcoming tour will be donated to the school.
