One of Canada’s most acclaimed and much-loved singer-songwriters Cara Luft makes a long-anticipated return with a joyful solo album –– her first in over 13 years. The culmination of a period of upheaval & transformation, "My Heart Will Always Be" is her most assured and personal work to date.
Cara's guiding principle was simple: to write and record with friends who embodied kindness, consideration and generosity of spirit. From this ethos emerged the foundations of her new album and a trusted creative entourage she affectionately calls “The Quadrangle of Awesomeness". This entourage consists of musician/singer/songwriter Clayton Parsons (Cranbrook, BC), session musician/producer Soctt Poley (Liverpool, UK) and studio engineer Julia Graff (Vancouver, BC).
Recorded over 12 days in Vancouver, Cara, Clayton and Scott sang and played nearly everything themselves – guitars, banjos, pedal steel, electric bass & percussion – making it an intimate and cathartic experience. It showcases Cara’s remarkable musicianship and uncanny ability to sing about personal experiences that resonate deeply with the listener, without descending into navel-gazing. “I want to create and offer a reflection of the human experience,” she explains.
The result -- "My Heart Will Always Be" -- is a tour de force. The album is both a personal declaration and a celebration of music’s enduring power to heal, connect and bring joy.
