Album Review

Surfacing was released as the first Lilith Fair tour hit the road, and Sarah McLachlan benefited enormously from the timing. As the organizer of Lilith Fair, McLachlan was on the cover of magazines across America and Canada, which helped Surfacing debut at number two on the U.S. charts — a particularly remarkable feat since its predecessor, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, peaked at number 50. Although Surfacing didn't offer anything new from McLachlan and wasn't a particularly strong consolidation of her talents, it certainly wasn't a bad record and featured several fine songs, including the single "Building a Mystery."

Customer Reviews

Quite possibly her best..

Definitely one of , if not the best Sarah McLachlan album. Whoever wrote the 'official' itunes review of this album needs to school themselves better with the album and the artist as a whole. Lets see, there are several classic McLachlan songs on here: 'building a mystery', 'sweet surrender', 'adia', 'angle'. Not to mention some lesser known albeit powerful songs; 'do what you have to do', 'full of grace'. Though "fumbling towards ecstasy" put her on the map, this album really made her a household name and showed you how deep her talent and range as a singer/song writer could go.

The Queen!

Sarah vocals are so soothing, Love this talented Canadian singer.

Voice of an Angel
