Hauntingly Breathtaking

When Sarah McLachlan released "Surfacing" in 1997, it became a big hit, full of songs that are still on the airwaves more than a decade later. So when "Afterglow" came out in 2003, it was quickly scrutinized and compared to its predecessor. And while it has a different sound, the album is a lush, lyrical treat.

For the most part, "Afterglow" is full of ballads - songs that feature McLachlan's distinct vocals accompanied by piano and strings. But there is some fire here. 'Fallen' is a beautiful description of the mistakes we make in life, while 'World on Fire' shows vulnerability and uncertainty. And 'Stupid' is so brilliantly crafted that you will be humming it for days.

So what is it about this album that makes it so appealing? The descriptive lyrics, for one thing. In 'Drifting', for example, McLachlan sings, "Larger than life is your fiction in a universe made up of one." The songs are near-poetry that rivets the heart and describes the complexities of pain, love, and life. And the string arrangements are soothing, mellowing out the record.

Overall, "Fallen" is an album worth checking out. Is it different than McLachlan's other work? Definitely. But different isn't necessarily bad. And in this case, it's hauntingly breathtaking.

Beautiful as ever

Afterglow is exceptional. Sarah has a beautiful voice and is one of the very best Jazz vocalists. This album is very good and a great pleasure to listen to.
