About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Solace is at once comforting, mysterious, expansive, timeless, and familiar. The sophomore jinx was certainly eluded here, as McLachlan sets forth a superior collection of songs and performances with the help of longtime producer Pierre Marchand. The opening track, "Drawn to the Rhythm," serves its title well and does the job of luring you in. Intelligent, intriguing lyrics and lilting melodies abound, whether amidst the pulsing rhythms of "Into the Fire" and "Back Door Man" or the quietly profound stories of "Home" and "Shelter." Although pretty much all of the tunes will grab you at one point or another, "The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "I Will Not Forget You" are especially memorable, the latter not to be confused with McLachlan's "I Will Remember You," which appears on the 1995 soundtrack for The Brothers McMullen. Solace is a wonderful record that offers a glimpse of the astounding talent of a young Sarah McLachlan. Kelly McCartney, All Music Guide

Too often overlookedby Anonymous

May 17, 2003: Be it the fact that the cover is simple black and white, or the fact that it's one of her older recordings, Solace seems to be overlooked by many Sarah McLachlan fans, and I'll admit that while I owned it, it was a while before I started really LISTENING to it. "Drawn to the Rhythm" has a certain versatility to the style, typical of Sarah stuff like "Possession" from FTE. "Into the Fire" has a lot of percussion sounds, a really fun song, and "The Path of Thorns" is a beautifully poignant track. One of my personal favorites, however, is "Black", a track of gloomier lyrics than the norm. The most interesting part of "Black", however, is that the background music is a collection of musical instruments being played, essentially, the wrong way, lending an even more haunting tone to the vocals. For true Sarah fans, this album is definitely a worthy addition to the collection.
