Sarah McLachlan: Laws of Illusion (Review)

Sarah McLachlan fans have been waiting for seven long years for her latest album just released this past Tuesday, Laws Of Illusion.  I’ve always loved Sarah’s gorgeous, calming voice.  She was one of the music artists I would to paint to back in my art-school days.  Her songs always helped relax me while I tapped into my creativity.

Laws of Illusion is so easy to listen to.  It’s a collection of mixed emotions, all sung to a pretty tune.  Sarah has over 20 million career sales to date and, every one of Sarah McLachlan’s studio and live albums has been certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum by the RIAA.  She must be doing something right! 

If you like Sarah, you’ll really love Laws Of Illusion.
