Another article/interview! This one is specific about The Laws Of Illusion.

AfterEllen.com: It’s been seven-plus years since you’ve recorded an album of all original material, and you’ve historically taken a few years off between albums. Is there a specific reason for that?
Sarah McLachlan: Yeah. Mostly it’s because I had kids. I wasn’t a prolific writer by any stretch of the imagination before that and having children really slows down the process because, well, they’re the most exquisite distraction there is. I was really lucky that I got to take big chunks of time off to be a mom.

AE: How is Laws of Illusion different than Afterglow?
SM: I don’t know; I haven’t really thought about comparing the two. There’s a lot of light and darkness on this record, and there’s a sort of real raw energy to this record that I haven’t felt before. The process in which we recorded it was a lot quicker. We recorded it live off-the-floor stuff, which is sort of a bunch of musicians in a room, here are the songs, here are the chords, go, record.

We did six songs in five days that way; the bulk of the songs. That was really exciting and fun and just kept it fresh with a different kind of energy. The past couple records have been a week in Montreal and then my producer coming to Vancouver. So lots of slowly building up songs a lot quicker.

Miguel just posted this on the forum, a new article from The Globe and Mail:

With her new single, McLachlan’s heart is boldly back on her sleeve, but it appears to be all patched up, and then some. She sounds positively blissful in the upbeat, definitely-not-a-ballad Loving You Is Easy. “I’m alive and I’m on fire,” she belts out.

McLachlan says the song marks a decidedly different up-tempo mood her music has not shown before – and it is autobiographical.

“It’s been a roller coaster these last few years for sure,” McLachlan said. “A lot of emotional highs and lows. I did get a taste of finding love again, which is certainly what this song is all about. The delirious, overwhelming flush of new possibilities. That being said, I am happily single these days and better from the whole experience.”
