Wonderland, Sarah McLachlan (Verve)

Sarah takes another bite at the Christmas apple after a decade with this 2016 album. Her first one, Wintersong, was a fine complement to her hit repertoire, following the same modern folky and vaguely world music approaches of her past work. You hear more of the same with "Angels We Have Heard On High," "Let It Snow," a rhythmic take on "Go Tell It On the Mountain," and "Winter Wonderland." The rest is more adult contemporary pop, including "O Holy Night," "Silver Bells," "Huron Carol," "White Christmas," and a perfectly faithful jazz-pop arrangement of "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts)." A good second try, though there's nothing particularly outstanding for people who aren't already Sarah fans.
