Solace by Sarah McLachlan
Solace is an album by Sarah McLachlan, released in 1991. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 42 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Into The Fire”, on 24 lists with a best position of #47.
Solace, Sarah McLachlan's second album, came out on Nettwerk in Canada in June 1991 and on Arista in the US in January 1992, and it's the record that made her a star at home. It was also the first of many she'd make with producer Pierre Marchand, and together they found a sound that's lush, misty and hushed, all shimmering guitars and that soaring, crystalline voice.
"The Path of Thorns (Terms)" and "Into the Fire" were the hits, both brooding and bittersweet, and "Drawn to the Rhythm" rolls along on a hypnotic pulse. It went double platinum in Canada and drew good reviews abroad, though the rest of the world would have to wait for her next album, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, to catch on.
