Surfacing review

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 22 July 2008 11:18 (A review of Surfacing)

'Angel' was the first song I heard by Sarah McLachlan. It wasn't even from a CD of this album, but from the soundtrack for 'City of Angels' and that song will always have a special place among all her songs for me. Sarah McLachlan was reaching the heights of her popularity with the release of this album. At just ten tracks long, it's a short album compared to her earlier releases and not nearly as consistent an album as 'Fumbling Towards Ecstasy'. It does contain some of her best songs to date.

The highlight, both lyrically and musically, is the opening song, 'Building a Mystery'. Brilliant lyrics and alt rock inspired music that complements her voice make this a winner. She follows it up with 'I Love You', a lovely slow ballad with an atmospheric musical arrangement. The album has several more good songs, including the aforementioned 'Angel' almost at the very end.

Sweetness: the word to describe Sarah Mclachlan. Sweet voice and piano, songs sweetly sung and played. This comes with deep touching lyrics. Although, this is not a depressing album. There are slow and sad songs as "I love you" but some more "up" as "Building A Mystery" and others... Really recommended.
