Dive by Sarah Brightman

Dive is Sarah Brightman's release from 1993, grand and unhurried singing. It runs to 52 minutes across 15 tracks on A&M Records. I reached it late and it has stayed with me.

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: Captain Nemo

A shimmering synth-pop cover released as the album's lead single that fits the record's overarching ocean theme with its atmospheric, water-drenched production.

Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
Five, four, three, two, one
Then I raised my hand away
Captain Nemo went away
Love me when I'm gone
Left me all alone
Nemo's going home

Key takeaway

Dive is a fine place to start. Worth seeking out.
