Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled to astronomical global success on the heels of the inaugural Lilith Fair festival, the Canadian songwriter's fourth album became a definitive staple of 90s adult contemporary radio. The lush, heavily atmospheric ballads 'Building a Mystery' and 'Angel' highlighted her crystalline vocal range and deeply emotive, piano-driven songcraft.
