Rachael Sage Rolling Out New Single & EP
Newly Confirmed Tour and Festival Dates for the Spring
Including SXSW
LISTEN TO EP TITLE TRACK “NEW DESTINATION”
Featured on American Songwriter
Title track “New Destination” drew inspiration from Carole King’s Broadway musical, “Beautiful.” After Sage left the show with an ‘I Feel The Earth Move’ feeling, she was determined to write an upbeat groove-tune on the piano with a classic, pop hook.“One part Elton John, one part Kate Bush” (UNCUT), Sage has had an illustrious career as an independent artist, praised by the likes of The Wall Street Journal, New York Times and MOJO. Sage has shared the stage with Eric Burdon, Ani DiFranco, Marc Cohn, Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins and Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey). Her songs have appeared on MTV, HBO, the “Fame” soundtrack, and the current season of Lifetime’s #1 reality series, “Dance Moms.” Sage has made a name for herself as one of the most active touring artists in indie music with her dynamic piano playing, delicate guitar work and soulful vocals. Billboard has said “her keen ironic sense of humor and quirky sense of the profound is what makes her special as a songwriter“ and RollingStone.com called her a “genuine talent.”
The beginning of Rachael’s song “New Destination” reminded me of something Sara Bareilles might put out and made me interested in what was coming next. Unfortunately I was a little disappointed in the song as a whole. Her voice seemed strangely soft and didn’t have any conviction to it-it didn’t sound like she believed whole heartedly in what she was singing. Her chorus was also anticlimactic to me and fell short.
