When Sarah McLachlan’s not writing music or donating her time to organizations like Comic Relief, Film Aid, and Heifer International, her music is inspiring DJs, remixers, engineers, and producers around the globe. In fact, such diverse talents as the Thievery Corporation, will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, Junior Boys have all loaned their skills for Sarah's second album of remixes, entitled Bloom, set to arrive in stores on September 6th via J Records.
Most of the tracks are highly recognizable classics from albums like Fumbling Toward Ecstacy and Afterglow, however a previously un-released collaboration with DMC of Run DMC also makes its way onto this remix record. The Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas Mix of Just Like Me (DMC featuring Sarah McLachlan), channels Harry Chapin’s classic Cat’s In the Cradle and puts it head-to-head with the imagination of Run-DMC’s co-founder Darryl McDaniels and his new partner.
Sarah’s most recent US performance was at Museum Of Art in Philadelphia on July 2nd, to perform as part of the North American lineup at Live 8: The Long Walk To Justice. The once-in-a-lifetime all-star event, organized by Sir Bob Geldof on the 20th anniversary of the Live Aid concerts, also featured performances by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Kaiser Chiefs, Green Day, and Stevie Wonder.
