Sarah seems to be pretty huge in the US but apart from the dance track which was a huge hit here with Delerium, I didn't know anything about her and didn't know what to expect.
Based on this album, and Fumbling towards ecstasy/Freedom Sessions I love her.
Her music is slow, romantic, serious and beautiful to listen to. Her voice is full of emotion. She's singing about love, losing love and she's perfect for late night listening sessions. Her voice is husky and suggestive and reminds me a bit of Eleanor McEvoy.
My favourite songs are 'Do what you have to do', a song about realising you have to let someone go when they no longer love you, 'Bowling a mystery' which seems to worry abou what happens when we get to heaven and 'sweet surrender' which has a bit more pace to it and a beautiful sound which is of course throughout the record.
