In 1994 her third album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy quietly became Sarah’s international breakthrough, scaling the charts in a number of countries.

Sarah’s fourth album Surfacing, released in 1997, brought her international success, selling over 11 million copies worldwide. Still in the spotlight from the album, Sarah launched the highly popular Lilith Fair tour, which helped launch the careers of several well-known female artists. Her next record Afterglow came out in 2003; it contained the singles Fallen, Stupid, and World on Fire. It was her first album of new material in six years. Sarah took a few years furlough to start a family with her husband and drummer, Ashwin Sood. Her Holiday album Wintersong came out in October 2006. The album consists of eleven new recordings of well known Christmas songs as well as seasonal favorites interpreted by Sarah. The title track Wintersong is an original work of Sarah. |
