Are You Gone

To produce the album, Harmer opted to work with Marcus Paquin, a producer she had not worked with before, on the grounds that having not recorded a full album in ten years, she wanted to "do this with somebody I have to be on my best game with." Paquin, conversely, described Harmer as "one of those artists [who] doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles for the songs to translate", and said that his main challenge in working on the album was trying not to overproduce or "step on" Harmer's material. ==Songs==

The album's lead single was "New Low", which CBC Music described as "a fiery two-and-a-half minutes that the singer hopes will get 'people to their feet, and not only to dance'." Harmer described the song as having been inspired by the spirit of community activism that followed events such as the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting. "Just Get Here" is a new recording of a track Harmer originally released on the 2018 compilation album The Al Purdy Songbook, while "What I Was to You" is a tribute to her lifelong friendship with the late Gord Downie. ==Critical response==

The Spill Magazine called the album "a welcome one, a warm blanket on a cold day, a moment of solace amidst it all. Brimming with quality and every inch an impressive release". In a review for Entertainment Focus, Pip Ellwood-Hughes called the album "a welcome return for Sarah. She’s one of the most gifted storytellers in music and her music is always worthy of your time and attention." ==Track listing==
