One thing is true for every mother, though: There’s no deadline quite like a pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning Toronto singer-songwriter Abigail Lapell was pregnant with her first child when she booked studio time on Vancouver Island to make an album about motherhood. The nine songs on Shadow Child — one for each month of gestation — had to be ready before then, and her return flight was booked on the last day she could safely fly in her third trimester.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with producer Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan, Black Mountain), Lapell finished her songs in the studio and on rural walks beside the Pacific Ocean. She enlisted some of her favourite singers, all British Columbians, all mothers: Frazey Ford, Jill Barber, Pharis Romero. “They’re all people with unique, distinctive voices,” she says, “which is what I’m drawn to.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, Lapell was looking for a stark, acoustic sound, as opposed to 2024’s Juno Award-nominated Anniversary (recorded in Niagara with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker) and 2022’s acclaimed Stolen Time (recorded in Montreal with Howard Bilerman, featuring E Street Band saxophonist Jake Clemons).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eLapell’s road to motherhood was fraught, involving years of IVF and a 2023 miscarriage — that she experienced on stage while on tour. (She finished her set.) Her son was born in November 2024. The song cycle of Shadow Child covers joy and loss, using metaphors from Maritime tragedy, “little cannibals,” reproductive health, acquiring language, and lives altered by the arrival of a newborn. The title track refers to ultrasound imaging of “a liminal person that doesn’t quite exist yet,” says Lapell. “Their status is ontologically blurry.”\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eShadow Child arrives May 8 – Mother’s Day weekend - on CD, Digital, and Lavender vinyl LP. Singles “Hazel,” “Shadow Child”, and “So Long” roll out starting in January.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability : PRE ORDER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: FOLK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2026-05-08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Abigail Lapell","offers":[{"title":"- FOLK *NEW*","offer_id":44435561611379,"sku":"M07156-WANK-RS","price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/abigail-lapell-shadow-child_Ycr1q.jpg?v=1772830803","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/shadow-child","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
