Loreena Mckennitt Lost Souls

We are thrilled to announce that Loreena is about to release her first recording of original songs since her 2006 recording An Ancient Muse. Her new album, Lost Souls, is set for international release on May 11, 2018.

Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Loreena McKennitt is one of Canada's most beloved national artists, a folk chanteuse, and a new age troubadour who made her breakthrough in the mid-'80s with her literate and oft-experimental focus on Celtic-tinged traditional and original material, coupled with her haunting harp playing. As her career progressed, McKennitt began incorporating Spanish, Galician, and Arabic themes into her repertoire, culminating in a trio of career-defining albums – The Visit, The Mask and Mirror, and The Book of Secrets – that made her an international star. McKennitt went on a long hiatus after the tragic death of her fiance in 1998, but returned to the studio in 2006 with the acclaimed The Book of Secrets, followed by a string of EP's and concert and studio albums, with highlights arriving via 2010's trad-Celtic LP The Wind That Shakes the Barley and 2018's inward looking Lost Souls.

In March 2019 Loreena returned to one of the world’s most iconic venues to present a two hour concert that thrilled fans and critics alike. “Live At The Royal Albert Hall”, released November 1st, is a must-own memento of that unforgettable evening from the European leg of the Lost Souls world tour. Presented in a high quality, six panel softpak, the 1 hour 45 minutes, two cd package features twenty songs that comprise a substantially different collection of pieces from any of Loreena’s previous live album releases, including six from her latest album, Lost Souls. In addition to her regular touring band of storied instrumentalists Loreena was joined on that memorable evening by a number of special guests including renowned Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy, one of the top flamenco guitarists in the world in Daniel Casares and Spanish nyckelharpa player Ana Alcaide.
