Shirley Manson discusses the evolution of her artistic expression in her latest album, *Let All That We Imagine Be the Light*. Following a challenging period marked by health issues and personal losses, Manson shifted from expressing anger to projecting love and vulnerability in her music. This album counters industry ageism and addresses humanitarian crises, showcasing her commitment to stand against silence. The creative process involved collaborating with the band even during her recovery, leading to a deeper lyrical and emotional exploration in the songs.
"I realized that if I didn't change my tack, I was going to lose my mind... I wanted to project love, even though I was feeling physically broken and emotionally spent."
"How dare you insinuate because I'm a woman in her 50s that I no longer have agency?"
"I've gotten it in the neck for being outspoken... But I was taught by my father to stand my ground. To be silent is complicit."
"It's sort of like a prayer to recovery and good health... echoing earlier tracks like 'Fix Me Now' with deeper clarity."
