Sarah McLachlan - Influences

Grammy Award winner Sarah McLachlan has moved millions with her emotionally charged vocals, but who has moved Sarah McLachlan? The “Influences” series escorts you beyond the velvet rope to confirm a few artists you may have guessed – singer-songwriter Jane Siberry (“The Valley”) – and some you might never have imagined – Pakistani qawwali vocalist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (“Mustt Mustt”), about whose music she says, “You don’t even know what the words are, but you feel the spirituality and passion in every note.” Peter Gabriel earns two spots on McLachlan’s list, one with Genesis (“The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”) and another as a solo artist (“In Your Eyes”). He is clearly among those who, as she says, move her, make her feel, bring her closer to herself.
