About The Record:

Sweet Surrender (Remixes) (12" Single), by Sarah McLachlan, released in 1998, features dance-oriented reworkings of the title track from her blockbuster album Surfacing, transforming the original soft rock ballad into club-friendly versions by prominent DJs and producers. This promo vinyl release includes remixes such as the Roni Size Vocal Remix, Überzone Vocal Mix, showcasing the era's fusion of alternative pop with drum and bass, trance, and electronica influences. Historically significant as part of McLachlan's rise during the inaugural Lilith Fair tour—which she founded to promote female artists—the single ties into Surfacing's massive success, selling over 8 million copies in the US alone and earning multiple Juno and Grammy Awards, while also gaining cultural notoriety through its association with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The original Sweet Surrender became a hit single, peaking at No. 2 on the Canadian charts and No. 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1997-1998, with its emotional lyrics inspired by the film Leaving Las Vegas and a personal breakup. Later, in 2001, a maxi-single remix by DJ Tiësto revitalized the track, reaching No. 6 on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart and bridging McLachlan's mainstream appeal with electronic dance music audiences.
