Dive, Sarah Brightman's third album, came out on A&M in 1993 and swapped the opera house for the deep end. It was her first record with Frank Peterson, the former Enigma producer, and the pairing steered the original Christine of The Phantom of the Opera away from operatic material toward glossy, atmospheric pop, every song tied to water and the sea.
The covers show how wide the net was cast: "Captain Nemo" from the band Dive, Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog", Sandra's "Johnny Wanna Live", and "Once in a Lifetime", a Gregorian song from Sadisfaction, another Peterson production, given new words. Brightman floats her high, clear soprano over the shimmer like light through water. It was the start of the Peterson partnership that carried her into classical crossover.
