Toronto’s Carmen Toth has today released Fix The World, her most personal and politically charged album to date. Anchored by its searing title track, which was written in a single burst of inspiration, the record blends raw honesty with lush, guitar-driven instrumentation to deliver a message that is both intimate and universal: break free from prescribed roles, embrace authenticity and reclaim power. Carmen Toth wrote Fix The World after attending a women’s gathering where she felt alienated by performative femininity, inspiring her to examine deeply ingrained expectations placed on women. The album’s tarot-inspired artwork, illustrated by Peter Guidon, reflects that message of liberation. It reimagines the The World tarot card, depicting Carmen Toth with both acoustic and electric guitars, drumsticks in place of batons, and her two late cats, Snowshoe and Fritzy, as spirit guides.

“I feel like from birth, my generation of women was collectively brainwashed to put others first, cater to men, compete with each other, and obsess over beauty and having a perfect home and family. We need to hold ourselves accountable for enabling the patriarchy and start rebelling against it. The only way we’re going to fix the world is by supporting each other fiercely and stepping fully into our power. The woman on the card is liberated and joyful, dancing without caring what others think. That’s what my music and art represent for me. We must not be afraid to be who we really are and express ourselves authentically. Only by doing that can we fix the world. This is the most ‘me’ record I’ve made Some of these songs date back to when I first started, but this is the first team who fully understood my vision. The 2002 version of me is very happy.” (Carmen Toth)
