Sweet Surrender

by

Sarah McLachlan

Edit

I bought this single just for Sweet Surrender. It is worth it. The remixes on this CD aren't great; they are truly repetitive and very boring. These remixes just give a different flavor to Sweet Surrender, and from my opinion, they destroy the integrity of the song.

I would recommend this single alone though for Sweet Surrender Radio Edit. The instrumentation and the re-editing much better than the Album Version. Sure, they might be subtle, but it is much better. Sarah's vocals are amplified in this version, meaning her vocals are much better heard than the Album version. There is much more dramatic impact in this version than the Album version. Also, this version of Sweet Surrender is used as the music video for this song.

This is a great single, only for Sweet Surrender. If you're a fan, and enjoy Sweet Surrender, I would recommend looking into this single. If you're a fan looking for a Sweet Surrender remix, I wouldn't recommend any of these (for sure these would not bee seen played during a club scene). But, if you want a remix version, I highly recommend Sweet Surrender Boilerhouse remix. That is by far the best remix.

This CD single deserves 5 stars alone for the Sweet Surrender Radio Edit. If you're a music listener and notice all the little details, I'm sure you would agree with me. This single would have done well just alone with the radio edit. Purchase if you are a true fan.

I am a huge fan of Sarah McLachlan and always will be, though one area she's weak in is her choice of b-sides for her singles. Not surprisingly, Sarah provides us with 5 remixes of the same song, and it grows quite tiresome. The radio mix of the song is great, placing a higher emphasis on her gorgeous voice, though the same cannot be said for the dance remixes. Sarah's songs nor her voice are suitable for a dance remix. Can you honestly say it's enjoyable to hear her say "Sweet Surrender" over and over? Whenever Sarah releases another album, I hope she puts some amazing b-sides on her singles.
