Sarah McLachlan - Shine On

180-gram double LP from the three-time Grammy winner!

Her first full-lenth record of new material since 2010's Laws of Illusion

Mastered by Bernie Grundman

"It's about getting to the heart of the matter and moving forward. It's about being courageous and victorious and mourning our losses while Shining a light for those around us who are stuck in dark times." — Sarah McLachlan

"We all have a unique contribution to make in this world and Shine On is about that. It's about being present in the moment and to Shine On through all of life's ups and downs. To grow and change and forgive and to find ways to give back to the world. This album is full of hope and gratitude," writes Sarah McLachlan about her new album, Shine On.

The three-time Grammy winner and legendary singer songwriter makes her Verve label debut with Shine On, her eighth studio album. McLachlan has sold more than 40 million albums in her career and is one of the most respected female artists in music today. She is an eight-time Juno Award winner (Canada) whose landmark fifth album, the 10x-platinum Surfacing, included two Grammy-winning tracks: "Building a Mystery" and "Last Dance."

Shine On was recorded in Vancouver with longtime collaborator/producer Pierre Marchand, along with contributions from producer/songwriter Bob Rock and keyboardist Vincent Jones.

In a press release, McLachlan revealed that the album was inspired by her father's passing and her own appreciation of life: "This album is about moving through the second half of my life in a more mindful and meaningful way, recognizing that every day, every moment is precious and though we all have our issues and problems, our damages, we all have the ability to continue to learn, grow from our experiences, thrive and shine on. Many of the songs are inspired at least partially or wholly by my father's passing three years ago and the profound effect losing him had on me. I had to find my footing again without the anchor of his unconditional love."
