McLachlan generally operates in two gears – hand-on-your-heart, slow-burn balladry or peppy, momentum-filled production that allows her inimitable vocal melodies to be showcased.

Sarah McLachlan doesn't need to reinvent the wheel – she made her international mark in the field of adult contemporary folk-pop in the '90s, so while there's nothing groundbreaking to be found on her eighth record, Shine On, it's still a solid listen from the three-time Grammy-winning Canadian. McLachlan generally operates in two gears – hand-on-your-heart, slow-burn balladry (Broken Heart – how does she not have a song called this already?) or peppy, momentum-filled production that allows her inimitable vocal melodies to be showcased (Love Beside Me).
