Award Winning Artist Rachael Sage to Release Acoustic/Folk Version of Latest Album “Choreographic”

Independent Music Award winning singer-songwriter Rachael Sage is excited to announce the release of CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC), the acoustic and folk-oriented reimagining of her latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC.

New York, NY, July 29, 2016 – Independent Music Award winning singer-songwriter Rachael Sage is excited to announce the release of CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC), the acoustic and folk-oriented reimagining of her latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC. Available on August 5, the acoustic album features ten new versions of songs from the main release, and Rachael’s charming cover of So Far Away, the Carole King classic.

A love letter to her early days as a dancer and also to her more recent collaborators in the world of lyrical dance, CHOREOGRAPHIC (ACOUSTIC) strips back the original album’s layered production in favor of more intimate instrumentation; the lyrics and melodies are front and center in these special Acoustic Radio mixes. The uplifting, harmony-drenched Home (feat. rising artist Matt Nakoa) reflects on the mystery and romance of the big city, while 7 Angels (feat. Peter Himmelman) chronicles the true story of New York’s most tragic fire in years, inadvertently caused by Sabbath observance. The playful, accordion-drenched Loreena was composed by Sage in a dream and nods to her inspiration Loreena McKennitt, and It Would Be Enough was written in honor of the late BB King, whose music crossed every conceivable barrier and who was Sage’s father’s favorite bluesman. The album closes with Rachael’s cover of Carole King’s So Far Away.

On her most acoustic recording to date, Sage is joined by longtime collaborators Kelly Halloran (Tom Morello, Michael Franti) – fiddle and Ward Williams (Brandi Carlile) – cello, as well as cellist Dave Eggar (Pete Seeger, Amber Rubarth), Jack Petruzelli (Rufus Wainwright) and James Mastro (Amy Speace) – guitar. Produced by Sage and Grammy® Winner Andy Zulla (Stephen Kellogg, The Sweet Remains), “Choreographic” features Sage’s delicate guitar work, innovative piano playing and evocative vocals.

Rachael Sage’s latest album CHOREOGRAPHIC is a collection of songs inspired by her very first love: Dance. The songs on CHOREOGRAPHIC were all sparked by the singular theme of movement through music, and composed very quickly by Sage during a week-long stint in a London hotel room. A former ballet dancer who attended The School Of American Ballet as a child, Sage learned to play music by ear listening to classical music while performing in such Balanchine ballets as “The Nutcracker” and “Coppélia” with The New York City Ballet; folk and popular influences came much later, but that musical platform was the lifeblood that enabled Sage to write her own songs and make sense of the world around her, from age five.

Acclaimed Artist Rachael Sage Releases New Song “Try Try Try” New Album Choreographic Out May 20th

“baroque strings and off-kilter but memorable percussion…fueled by triumph and feminine resilience.” – Baebel Music

New York, NY, April 28, 2016 – Award-winning recording artist Rachael Sage exclusively premiered her new song “Try Try Try” April 7 on Baebel Music. The track is the first release off of her forthcoming full-length studio album, Choreographic, inspired by her lifelong relationship with dance, due May 20 (MPress/ILS/Caroline). “Try Try Try” will be available as an instant download from iTunes with pre-orders of Choreographic beginning April 22.

A playful, uptempo folk-pop number with a tinge of country twang and more than a little bit of rock attitude, the track features Sage’s signature clever lyrics, catchy harmonies and impressive guitar skills. Accompanied by fantastic backing musicians including members of Coldplay, Adele, Esperanza Spalding and Brandi Carlile’s bands, it’s an uplifting, infectious song about love, perfect for spring! “Try Try Try” debuted at #97 on the FMQB Adult Contemporary radio chart among Gwen Stefani & Ellie Goulding.

“I wrote [“Try Try Try”] from a place of pure anticipation, in that moment where you’ve connected with someone immediately and all you feel is endless possibility, just being in each other’s presence.” – Rachael Sage
