Sarah McLachlan, the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter, has found herself back in the spotlight this summer, thanks to a powerful remix of her vocals on Delerium’s timeless track “Silence.” The remix, produced by rising electronic star John Summit, has ignited massive reactions worldwide and introduced McLachlan’s iconic voice to a new generation of fans.
John Summit Revives a Timeless Classic
Known for his signature tech-house sound, John Summit has been performing his version of “Silence” at major festivals and club events across the globe. Every performance has been met with explosive energy from the crowd, cementing the track as one of the hottest anthems of the season.
Summit himself has called the original “a timeless record” and one of his “all-time favorites,” crediting McLachlan’s haunting vocals with shaping his connection to electronic music.
McLachlan’s Family Joins the Excitement
Even McLachlan’s family has been swept up in the excitement surrounding the remix. Her partner’s children have been streaming the track nonstop, and her youngest daughter, Taja, is especially captivated.
Taja even begged her mother to join Summit on stage, telling her:
“Please go do this so I can come to Ibiza. I’ll skip graduation.”
While flattered, McLachlan quickly put her foot down, reminding her daughter that graduation is a milestone she wouldn’t allow her to miss.
