5 stars Pure Heaven
My goodness. McLachlan's voice captures and plays with each note and makes you hear the value of them. Her soulful voice is genuine, tender, fragile, and strong--all at the same time. You will play this album over and over again, finding new elements of yourself each time you listen to a song.

5 stars One of my top ten
I have a variety of listening interests, but Sarah McLachlan's "Surfacing" is among my all time favorite albums. This is one of those rare CDs where I don't skip over songs and it such easy music to listen to that I never get tired of it.

perhaps not the best album of her oeuvre, but the tracks of this album on mirrorball are done amazingly, bringing them to a more enlightened context. Otherwise, the album Surfacing in of itself, seems empty, vague and rather hackneyed.

Jewel Pieces Of You CD (1995)

Surfacing album

$6.29

Jewel was nominated for the 1997 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Who Will Save Your Soul" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. When this Alaskan decided to give up her day job and move into her Volkswagen van in 1993, she began an almost storybook ascendance to the upper echelon of singer-songwriters. Like so many other aspiring musicians with a guitar and a story to tell, Jewel is a keen observer of human behavior. But it is her voice, a classically-trained instrument that has developed far beyond Jewel's 22 years, that makes her debut album--much of which was recorded at Neil Young's Broken Arrow Ranch with pieces of his HARVEST MOON band--such a joy. Jewel's is a special ...

Paula Cole This Fire CD (1996) Parental Advisory

Surfacing CD music

$7.29

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. THIS FIRE was nominated for 1998 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Album. "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone" was nominated for 1998 Grammys for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Paula Cole won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Singer-songwriter Paula Cole bares her soul on her self-produced second album, displaying even more self-confidence than on HARBINGER. There is a sense of breaking with the past, especially on tracks like "Tiger," where Cole revisits the symbolic "Bethlehem" of her first album, singing, "I've left Bethlehem and I feel free/I've left the girl I was supposed to be." Lyrically, THIS FIRE is ferocious and unrestrained, and Cole's limber voice is suitably raw and versatile, veering from whispery-soft to edgy and emotional, delivering a ...

Sarah McLachlan Solace CD (1991)

Surfacing music CDs

$8.99

In 1992, at the young age of 24, McLachlan had a very real command of the pop idiom, and her songwriting was not only mature, it was rare and exceptional. The gothic vocal piece "Mercy" and the atmospheric "Home" are quite evocative. However, the highlight of SOLACE is the poignant "I Will Not Forget You." On this track, a wash of guitars and subtle piano chords are supported by rich ...

Sarah McLachlan Fumbling Towards Ecstasy CD (1993)

Surfacing songs

$8.99

Heavily atmospheric, building around intertwined harmonies and lush arrangements, FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY might remind some of early Sinead O'Connor. McLachlan's ethereal vocal style pulls from the same sources as O'Connor, but add a calm that's more akin to contemporary jazz or new age than the pop charts McLachlan has climbed. The lifeblood of her songs are her physical and emotional relationships with people. With lyrics centered around satisfaction and the ways to maintain it, much of FUMBLING TOWARDS ECSTASY doesn't fumble but caresses. Her lyrics compare love to ice cream, and promise kisses to make her lover breathless. Listening to the album, ...

Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)

Surfacing CD music

$9.58

Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling a bygone era when there were singers that appealed to an adult audience by offering soft, stately versions of pop hits and standards. That time was the late `60s and early `70s, and apart from a rather faithful version of Madonna's "You'll See," I Dreamed a Dream could very well have been released ...

Jets To Brazil Orange Rhyming Dictionary CD (1998)

Surfacing album

$11.55

Being one of the more anticipated independent releases of 1998, Orange Rhyming Dictionary combines emo-inflected pop sensibilities with the occasional keyboards. Despite the occasional use of wah-wah pedal guitars in "I Typed for Miles," which sounds almost identical to Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box," Jets to Brazil live up to their hype. Most of the songs clock in at an epic length while containing storytelling lyrics ...
