Lisa LeBlanc unveils a new song and announces details of her upcoming album Patchwork

After releasing the catchy, surf rock-tinged single Whole Lotta Talkin’ earlier this summer, the Polaris-nominated Acadian songwriter Lisa LeBlanc returns today with A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought. The song's harmonies echo those fleeting ideas that quickly arise and vanish just as fast. This is the opening track from her sixth album, Patchwork, set for release on February 5, 2027 via Bonsound. The album is available for pre-order (vinyl, CD and digital) now.

The Acadian singer-songwriter announces several tour dates in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Ontario for 2027 and 2028. She will be performing in Quebec City, Toronto, Hamilton, Moncton, Laval, and Sherbrooke, among others. Shows are also scheduled in Manchester, London and Paris in the spring of 2027. See the list below for all tour dates.

On November 19, 2026, Lisa LeBlanc will perform at the Théâtre Plaza in Montreal as part of M for Montreal's official selection. More info here.

Lisa LeBlanc delivers a playful take on repetition on A Fleeting Thought Becomes Another Fleeting Thought, the opening track from Patchwork, her sixth album. Set to a galloping rhythm, the song builds in intensity with dramatic organ melodies and a folky 12-string ​ electric guitar while showcasing Lisa’s enchanting vocals. The layers of repeating vocal harmonies echo her restless nature and the fleeting thoughts that often cross her mind before she can even grasp them, a theme that directly inspired this new earworm

Much like a travel journal, Patchwork offers an observation of everyday life set to music with sensitivity and humour. The roots of the album stretch from Moncton, New Brunswick, to Lafayette, Louisiana, two cities separated by more than 3,500 kilometres, a distance that Lisa LeBlanc travelled in her van during a two-month road trip. In the years leading up to the recording of her sixth album, the Acadian musician also spent time in Corsica, where the rugged landscapes struck her, and in Ireland, where the cliffs and traditional music festivals brought her a new creative spark.

Though nature plays a significant role on this new album, Lisa channels her love for 60s and 70s folk and rock music to create a rich tapestry of melodies, harmonies, and grooves. She also draws inspiration from traditional Cajun and Acadian music, thus crafting an original, timeless sound that only she could have conceived. The album’s title, Patchwork, is a nod to Lisa’s grandmother, who, for over 50 years, has been making quilts meticulously from fabric scraps that were not originally meant to be sewn together.

About Lisa LeBlanc

Lisa LeBlanc has a reputation for singing in English, French, and Acadian patois. Her finger-picking banjo and rockin’ electric guitar make for a must-see live show — joyful, candid with occasional headbanging. Lisa is also known for musical plot twists, like 2022’s Chiac Disco — a dance record that earned her multiple Félix awards at ADISQ, an ECMA, a Juno nomination and a spot on the Polaris Music Prize Shortlist.

For 2027’s Patchwork, it all started with a jam session. It’s the kind of thing Lisa grew up with in Rosaireville, New Brunswick: kitchen parties with her grandmother on piano and aunts, uncles, cousins, mom and dad playing in local bands. In Moncton, Lisa began songwriting in both French and English. Her self-titled debut came out kicking in 2012, francophone folk with spirited banjo-playing and the quirky, self-deprecating humour Acadians are well known for. The record earned platinum sales, an ADISQ Breakthrough Artist award, a Juno nomination, and French audiences in Quebec and across the country.

Her lo-fi roots EP Highways, Heartaches and Time Well Wasted (2014) was the first curveball, with its English lyrics and punk rock banjo. Two years later, she released Why You Wanna Leave Runaway Queen?, which led to her first Polaris Music Prize nomination and extensive touring in North America and Europe. During that period, Lisa also took part in trad music sessions from PEI to Ireland. When it came to the next move, she really could have gone anywhere. But after selling over 155,000 albums and racking up 60 million streams, she decided it was time to delve deeper into her musical roots.

Patchwork (2027) is a journey across countries and cultures. Recorded in Moncton with some of the Chiac Disco gang, and in Louisiana, it adds Acadian fiddle to her banjo and electric guitar. Songs for late-night drives and mountain hikes, rowdy kitchen parties and quiet reflection. The title of this intimate yet relatable album is an ode to Lisa's grandmother's quilting, an art she's been practicing for over 50 years.
