Dive
 DIVE!! (Music)
comment
Dive is the third studio album by Sarah Brightman, released in 1993 by A&M Records. It has an aquatic theme, and notably marks the beginning of her longtime relationship (both professional and, for a while, romantic) with producer Frank Peterson.The musical theatre and operatic influence seen in most of Brightman's work is absent here. A heavy emphasis on Synth-Pop and inspiration from Peterson's group Enigma gives the album its own unique sound. It's worth noting that this album and Pop Rock follow-up Fly are the only ones in her discography that Brightman herself has co-produced. Dive gave Brightman her first Gold award for exceptional sales in Canada, where it sold 50,000 copies (by the time of certification on August 13, 1999).

Hotter and Sexier: "Once In A Lifetime" was rewritten from its original version by Frank Peterson's old project Gregorian. This was the effect.

Godiva Hair: For most of this album's photoshoot, Sarah appeared as an unclothed siren with a long thick tangle of black dreadlocks being her only covering.

Spoken Word in Music: Sarah speaks lines from Heathcote Williams's poem Whale Nation to open the album. The track "Cape Horn" features an excerpt from the film Mutiny on the Bounty (1962). The version of "When It Rains In America" included on the "Captain Nemo" single opens with the "no rain" chant from the crowd at Woodstock.

comment
Mood Whiplash: "Once in a Lifetime" starts off as an upbeat, romantic song about finding what seems to be true love. Then toward the end the music slows and it suddenly becomes apparent that this was an abusive relationship from which the singer has finally freed herself.
