Brandi Carlile Debuts Her BARBIE Cover of 'Closer to Fine' With Catherine Carlile From the 'Barbie The Album (Best Weekend Ever Edition)'

Brandi Carlile’s new rendition of Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine,” featuring her wife, Catherine Carlile, is out today and featured on the new version of the Barbie movie soundtrack: Barbie The Album (Best Weekend Ever Edition).

Produced by Carlile, who plays guitar, piano, keys, banjo and moog on the track, “Closer To Fine” also features special guest musicians Matt Chamberlain (drums) and Dave Mackay (keys).

A 9x GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, performer, #1 New York Times Bestselling author and activist, Carlile is known as one of music’s most respected voices. Over the course of her acclaimed career, Carlile has released seven full-length albums including her most recent, 2021’s 3x GRAMMY Award-winning In These Silent Days.

Additionally, Carlile continues her work as a renowned producer with several studio projects released this year including her show-stopping rendition of “Home,” which was featured on the final season of Ted Lasso, Brandy Clark’s new self-titled album and Tanya Tucker’s Sweet Western Sound, as well as Joni Mitchell’s forthcoming new album, Joni Mitchell At Newport (out July 28).

Known for her powerful live performances, Carlile recently held her once-in-a-lifetime “Echoes Through The Canyon” event at Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre, which included her annual headline concert with special guests Marcus Mumford and Allison Russell, The Highwomen with special guest Tanya Tucker and Joni Mitchell’s “Joni Jam.”

She will also perform select headline shows this year as well as several dates with P!NK as part of her stadium tour later this summer. See below for complete tour itinerary.
