2 weeks agoHow Sarah McLachlan lost and rediscovered her one-of-a-kind voice
Sarah McLachlan's singing voice is one of the wonders of the pop music world. It has alternately belted out and whispered hit songs ("Adia," "Building a Mystery") as well as the most devastating Disney song of all time (Randy Newman's "When She Loved Me" from "Toy Story 2") and is a pristine musical instrument. It can elegantly vault octaves, scoop notes without a croaky glottal fry and crack words into multi-note, velvety yodels. It can be breathy and ethereal or a searing flamethrower - and she transforms into an angelic chorus of one when she tracks layers of her own harmonies.
