Whenever you feel like listening to music that’s just soothing to both the mind and the senses, one artist that comes to mind is Sarah McLachlan. With her angelic mezzo-soprano vocal range, Sarah and all her tracks can be easily associated with soulful ballads.
Born and raised in Canada, the unforgettable singer-songwriter has left her mark in the music industry as she has sold 40 million album copies worldwide since she started in 1998. With eight albums currently under her belt, Sarah McLachlan can still be heard during those mundane moments everyone has after a tiring day or after an eventful circumstance. True enough, Sarah McLachlan is one of the most memorable singers in the pop/rock genre.
Sarah McLachlan’s most successful album is entitled ‘Surfacing’, which easily earned her numerous recognitions from award-giving bodies. It is with this album that McLachlan established her career through the song ‘Angel’, which was used in the movie ‘City of Angels’ and received the rare quadruple-platinum award for a movie soundtrack. This same album gave McLachlan two Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the track ‘Building a Mystery’ and Best Pop Instrumental Performance for ‘Last Dance’.
The track Building a Mystery also garnered Juno Awards for Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year for McLachlan herself and Album of the Year for ‘Surfacing’. Some of the other albums that really cemented Sarah McLachlan’s name as a respectable musician include ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Wintersong’, with some tracks topping the charts such as ‘Fallen’ and ‘Song for a Winter’s Night’.
Aside from being a prolific musician, Sarah McLachlan’s relentless efforts to help budding artists has been evident when she co-started in the Lilith Fair Tour. This separate venture inspired some female musicians to showcase their talents from 1997 to 1999. The Lilith Fair Tour can be recalled as a successful set of shows from the country’s most successful female artists of that time with Paula Cole, Lisa Loeb and Michelle McAdorey.
The said humanitarian venture through music raised $7 million which was then used for charities involving the youth and the poor. Some of the other albums popularized by Sarah McLachlan include Touch (1988), Solace (1991), Fumbling Towards Ecstacy (1993), Laws of Illusion (2010) and Shine On (2014).
