Surfacing is a1997 music album by Canadian artist Sarah McLachlan . It was produced in Montreal .

As McLachlan's most successful album to date, it reached number one or two in the top 40 of many countries and cemented its status particularly in the United States , where her 1993 album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy had sold well but McLachlan had not yet established itself as a mainstream pop star.

Surfacing was nominated for a Grammy Award . The website Acclaimedmusic.net lists Surfacing as the 2525th best album of all time.

The song "Do What You Have to Do" made headlines in the 1998 Kenneth Starr report , where it was quoted as the subject of a letter from Monica Lewinsky to Bill Clinton . The song "Angel", released as a single in 1999 , received new attention after the 9/11 attacks .
