Snowfall on the Sahara is a studio album by American singer Natalie Cole.

[1] AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine found that "with Snowfall on the Sahara, [Cole] pulls back from her classic pop routine and she does so with style [...] Even with such clean radio-ready production, Snowfall on the Sahara is hardly a conventional adult contemporary record; it plays like a nightclub revue from a classic pop vocalist, only with modernized arrangements and songs.

Such subtle deviations from formula results in a surprisingly satisfying record.

By balancing the form of traditional pop with strong material and modernized production, Snowfall on the Sahara illustrates adult pop needs to be neither predictable or devoid of substantive songs.
