A Pristine Premiere! Early Signs of the Beauty to Come  A Beautiful & Atmospheric Debut 
 
Touch is the 1988 debut album by Sarah McLachlan. The album showcases a distinctive sound combining the elements of folk and progressive rock and evidences true musical talent.
 
McLachlan's pristine vocals and intricate guitar work yield several memorable tracks, including the opening "Out of the Shadows" and the enchanting "Strange World." Her youthful romanticism is perhaps captured best in "Trust", a catchy tune that is embellished with male vocals, sparkling keyboards, bongos, and distant electric-guitar licks.
 
Other tracks, especially "Vox" and "Steaming," are beautiful tracks that have a light sense of yearning that she would later develop into the sensual crooning of her mid-'90s work. And "Ben's Song," a piano ballad, would go on to be included in her live shows. Touch was widely popular at alternative radio stations around the world.
 
A largely forgotten album in the wake of Sarah McLachlan's mainstream success, Touch was the first album anyone heard from the singer. Only 19 at the time, McLachlan had years to go before she would become the seductive songstress of Fumbling Towards Ecstacy or the sensitive balladeer of Surfacing. Instead, she has more of an ethereal sound, enhanced by keyboards and a lush production that gives it a polished feel. Bringing to mind the '80s incarnations of both Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, the songs here are moody pop tracks that showcase her incredible range more than anything else.
 
A few tracks, especially "Vox" and "Steaming," are beautiful tracks that have a light sense of yearning that she would later develop into the sensual crooning of her mid-'90s work. And "Ben's Song," a piano ballad, would go on to be included in her live shows  Touch is still a winner. Just a flawed winner, coming from a talented artist who was still searching for her artistic voice.
