One might think that after 20 years of melodic mastery, recently elusive Sarah McLachlan might be out of surprises. Best-of collection "Closer," due Oct. 7, proffers midtempo ballad "U Want Me 2," which delivers an identifiable vocal stamp and comfortably familiar production, a la "Building a Mystery." But the sheer sonic beauty of the track's melody at least equates previous hits, paving the way for McLachlan to re-establish as a radio staple. For all her quality output (and while nothing will surpass mod rock hit but top 40's missed 1993 "Possession"), "Want Me" is the best song she has issued this decade, a glorious return deserving adult radio reverence—and beyond, alongside Leona Lewis and Natasha Bedingfield, a Grammy Award bid for best female pop performance. —Chuck Taylor
