On her fifth album, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan returns with a simpler collection of songs which quietly explore the darker aspects of human nature. SURFACING is a group of straightforward songs which get right to the point, both musically and lyrically, dealing with such heavy topics as faith, life and death in an appealingly accessible way.
McLachlan`s unmistakable soaring voice displays its usual angelic tones and amazing versatility, abetted by the familiar, assured stamp of longtime producer and collaborator Pierre Marchand, making SURFACING McLachlan`s most mature album yet. Right from the start, with the anthem-like pop tune "Building a Mystery," McLachlan sets the tone, simultaneously shadowy and calm. SURFACING is an introspective musical landscape, a tight collection of thought-provoking songs from one of today`s most talented artists.

Customer Reviews
There are seven great songs on here, and four of them are hits. "Building a Mystery," "Sweet Surrender," "Adia" and "Angel" were all huge hits. "Do What You Have to Do" and "Full of Grace" should have also been hits. Why they weren't? I don't know. "Black and White" is also a great song. The other three songs were just too slow for me. This is Sarah's best CD. She has such a great voice.
