Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:

I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.  

Sophie B. Hawkins joins me now. The singer-songwriter is on tour through Western Canada with Paula Cole. They’re due into Vancouver Wednesday night, 29 October 2025 at the Playhouse, and Thursday, 30 October 2025 at Victoria’s McPherson Playhouse. Sophie joined me earlier this week from Brandon, Manitoba. I asked her about this tour, performing with Paula Cole, and her new album Whaler: Re-Emerging, which is a reimagined take on her iconic 1994 album. On the album she covers “As I Lay Me Down,” one of her bestselling records. I’ll ask her about writing that, and her other memorable music including the platinum-selling hit “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover.” Visit www.sophiebhawkins.com for more. And for tickets to Wednesday night’s show at the Playhouse, go to the Ticketmaster website. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Sophie B. Hawkins; Ms. Hawkins, good morning.
