As I Came of Age by Sarah Brightman
As I Came of Age is Sarah Brightman's release from 1990, soaring vocal lines over lush arrangements. It runs to 44 minutes across 12 tracks on Polydor. I found it some years after it appeared and was glad I did.
Why listen?
The voice is the centre, clear and unhurried over lush arrangements. The songs move between pop and the classical line with ease. It is grand without losing its warmth.
Favourite song: Love Changes Everything
A sweeping ballad drawn from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Aspects of Love that gives Brightman room to swell from intimate restraint into full theatrical climax.
Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die
Yes, love, love changes everything
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Key takeaway
As I Came of Age is a rewarding listen. Worth seeking out.
