"Ice Cream" comes from Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Sarah McLachlan's third album, released on October 22, 1993. She wrote it, words and music, and the credits keep it close to the bone: McLachlan on voice and piano, Guy Nadon on drums, and Pierre Marchand producing, recording and mixing.
Marchand made the album in Montreal, and the Canadian singer-songwriter wrote most of it while staying in a small house close to his studio. The record was an instant hit at home, where she was already a star, but it took its time elsewhere, idling in the middle of the US charts for close to two years on its way to becoming her international breakthrough. For its 30th anniversary she announced a 30-city tour in 2024, playing the whole album.
