ACCLAIMED ARTIST RACHAEL SAGE RELEASES NEW ALBUM "CHOREOGRAPHIC"
|
"...Choreographic (is) a colorful work that shares flourishes of Sigur Rós and Kate Bush, and identifies Sage as a divine musical visionary." - Glide Magazine
"...fueled by triumph and feminine resilience." - Baeble Music
"12 original compositions that will make you dance, cry, smile, and move to the beat...In less than 20 years Rachael has accomplished more as an independent artist than some artists signed to a major label have done in a lifetime."
- The Daily Voice
"...sultry yet warm...smoothly melds potentially disparate genres as folk and pop, the string-lined track tells of interpersonal longing with Aimee Mann-like poetic bewitchment." - The Deli Magazine
"Sage wisdom in a chamber-pop package; "It Would Be Enough" might be the most eloquent and perfect David Bowie eulogy to date." - MAGNET Magazine
New York, NY: Award-winning recording artist Rachael Sage has released her latest full-length studio album, Choreographic (MPress/ILS/Caroline). Self-described as "ballet-pop", Sage delivers a musically ambitious and emotionally accessible tribute to her very first love: Dance. Fresh off the heels of her 16th song placement on Lifetime TV's Dance Moms, Sage and her music have reached an ever-widening audience since her previous release "Blue Roses", amassing over 9.5 million views on YouTube.
Sage has been leading up to the album release with a string of song premieres including " I've Been Waiting", " Heaven (Is A Grocery Clerk)", " Loreena", and " Try Try Try", which is currently at #50 and climbing on the AC Top 200 chart.
"The quintessential definition of
dance, to me, is freedom. We're in a moment where we realize
how precious creative freedom is, and what a gift it is to be
able to share it with each other, across all borders and
boundaries." - Rachael Sage
Rachael Sage is a former dancer herself, who
attended The School Of American Ballet and danced with The New
York City Ballet in such Balanchine ballets as "The
Nutcracker" and "Coppelia". Connecting to her roots in
ballet, the NYC-based Sage "envisioned each song as a
fully-choreographed multi-media experience". The result
is an inspired set of piano-based chamber-pop merging orchestral
elements with her signature blend of folk, pop and rock. "Making
this album was a meditation on my lifelong relationship to
ballet and more recently, to lyrical dance. Dance gave me
virtually everything I cherish as an artist: melody,
expressiveness, a sense of ensemble, a love of costume and
fashion, and foremost, discipline." Accordingly, Sage has
several dance-centric videos in the works including one for her
first single "I Don't Believe It", which explores the topic of
bullying and will feature 3-time national dance champion Kaci
King, an eleven-year-old performer who reached out to
Sage on Facebook.
Sage, who contributed piano and guitar on the
album, is joined by top-notch musicians including violinists
Rachel Golub (Adele) and Lyris Hung (Indigo Girls), cellist
Dave Eggar (A Great Big World), drummer Doug Yowell (Joe
Jackson) and guest vocalists Peter Himmelman and
Matt Nakoa. Featuring 12 brand-new tracks, the album was
co-produced by Sage and Grammy® winner Andy
Zulla (Idina Menzel, Rod Stewart) and
engineered by Grammy® nominee John Shyloski (Johnny
Winter, Diana Ross). A special bonus track, a charming
rendition of Carole King's "So Far Away", will be available
exclusively on the iTunes version.
