Sarah Connor is a studio album by German recording artist Sarah Connor. It was released by Epic Records and Sony Music on March 9, 2004 in the United States, marking her North American debut. It compiles selected songs from her first three studio albums Green Eyed Soul (2001), Unbelievable (2002) and Key to My Soul (2003). Comprising nearly all of her singles released up to then, Sarah Connor includes the number-one hits "From Sarah with Love" and "Music is the Key", both produced by frequent collaborators Rob Tyger and Kay Denar, as well as production by Bülent Aris, Mekong Age, and American musicians Jerry Duplessis, and Wyclef Jean.
Propelled by the unexpected success of her single "Bounce", the album reached the lower half of US Billboard 200 and debut atop Billboard's Top Heatseekers, the latter of which highlights the sales by new and developing musical recording artists. The collection garnered a mixed reception from American music critics, who felt that the "tracks work because they're qualified by their Europop context. Like the brightest of that genre, they shine like flashy and disposable glowsticks before ultimately terminating."
Sarah Connor was released in 2004 in response to the success of the lead single "Bounce". Sarah Connor is Germany's biggest selling female popstar; however despite singing in English she never seriously attempted to take her music outside of German speaking countries (she released "Bounce" in England in 2003 with little promotion though as in America is charted in the top 20).
