Amazing fucking call with Sarah McLachlan.

Amerifats and Euro-muslims just can't comprehend the elegance, grace, virtuosity, and heaving mother's milkers of our sweet angel Sarah.

Mostly shit

Surfacing [Arista, 1997]
Fearing serial tsunamis of subcosmic truism and womanist gush, I'd always kept away from the edge of this Canadian, such as it was. But between her Lilith Fair counterpalooza and "Building a Mystery" bonanza, I had to dive in, and got less than I'd bargained for. McLachlan isn't a mystic, a sister, even a NewAger--merely a singer-songwriter of monumental banality. Now ensconced in the mature satisfactions that come eventually to many unhappy young women, most of whom don't possess a clear multioctave voice or modest tune sense, she's proud to encase her homilies of succor and self-acceptance in settings that don't call undue attention to her compositional ambitions.

Christgau is based, and he's not exactly wrong here. But he's more of a punk rock, CBGBs kind of guy...

Sarah McLachlan wasn't counterculture or punk in any way. Her Lilith Fair thing was more a celebration of songcraft, mainly about women proving they could write and perform solid, original compositions. She absolutely did that.

As a Western Canadian kid born in '90, that album has a huge place in my heart. Heard it for years from the backseat of my parent's car. The singles are extremely strong. It's basically just pre-Coldplay, Keane, Snow Patrol, etc. cinematic softpop. She was unbelievably graceful, talented, and sexy in her prime. I would kill for an artist like Sarah to emerge today.
