Editor's note

Tara MacLean's quiet piano and ethereal voice

A Canadian singer-songwriter whose work spans from late-90s breakthroughs to recent stripped-down returns.

For a sense of her early atmosphere, 'That's Me' from the debut still holds up. Later, something like 'Settling' shows how that voice settled into quieter, more direct territory.

Her debut album 'Quiet Revolution' in 1999 introduced a distinct piano-based sound with songs like 'That's Me' that felt both personal and spacious. That combination of intimate songwriting and what people often call ethereal vocals has carried through her catalog, whether on early tracks or later returns like 2014's 'Carved in Stone'.

She started gaining attention in the late 1990s from Pictou, Nova Scotia, with 'Quiet Revolution' establishing her approach. After recording through the 2000s with albums like 'Sin and Redemption', she took a break before returning in 2014 with a more stripped-down sound on 'Carved in Stone' and subsequent releases.
