Sarah McLachlan

Sarah McLachlan is a Grammy-winning Canadian singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia, whose lush, emotionally direct pop-rock ("Angel," the album Surfacing) has sold over 40 million records worldwide. This track reworks her Afterglow song "Dirty Little Secret" into a global-lounge groove by Washington, D.C. duo Thievery Corporation (Rob Garza and Eric Hilton), pioneers of a downtempo sound built from dub, bossa nova, and Indian and Middle Eastern influences, who also run their own label. The remix later found a second life on the 2008 Bones television soundtrack. McLachlan is also the founder of Lilith Fair, the all-female touring festival that was the top-grossing touring festival of 1997 and raised more than $10 million for charity in its first three years; she released her tenth studio album, Better Broken, in 2025.
