Sarah McLachlan was one of the biggest and most consequential singer-songwriters of the ’90s, but her legacy has been a bit overshadowed by the famously sad ASPCA ads that she used to do, the ones with her song “Angel.” Those things are joke magnets, and McLachlan has been a good sport about the phenomenon. Just last month, she parodied those ads when she appeared on the Simpsons season finale, singing about Itchy and Scratchy. For a while now, McLachlan has been working to maintain that legacy; she did a 30th-anniversary tour for her album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy last year. But now, she’s coming back with new music, announcing her first new album in a long time.
