Met het album Another Side vindt alt-folk-pop songwriter Rachael Sage songs van het ‘zusteralbum’ The Other Side opnieuw uit. Zoals steeds laat de creatieve artieste de muziek samengaan met een visueel en inhoudelijk krachtige video. Deze keer is het aan de expressieve moderne Broadway danser Jarren Muse om te improviseren, afgewisseld met Rachael die wandelt in een kleurrijke urban omgeving. Sage stelt zich de vraag wat het nu eigenlijk betekent om mens te zijn in deze woelige tijden.
Another Side verscheen op 17 mei 2024 via MPress Records.

Ter Info
"Albatross (Reimagined)" is a completely reimagined version of this beloved song from Rachael Sage's album The Other Side. Produced by Sage and recorded/mixed by Mikhail Pivovarov and Grammy® winner Andy Zulla, Sage’s finespun arrangement includes vocal contributions from breakthrough folk artist Crys Matthews. Longtime collaborators Kelly Halloran (violin) and Dave Eggar (Cello) lay the intricate foundation of the recording, while Sage handles the lead vocals, acoustic guitar, and djembe. The song is a rallying cry for empathy amidst a world stage continually fraught with bigotry and violence. Sage and Matthews' vocals merge seamlessly on this lush roots-rock anthem, reminding us the power of harmony just when we need it most.
Sage discusses the video, disclosing: "This video was really exciting to make for a variety of reasons, including working with a first-time female director – Pearl Flanagan, whose passion and creative energy really impressed me when we spoke. She and I had a few brainstorming sessions about the imagery we felt could work well – including the idea of cityscapes being projected onto a performance – and we ended up shooting everything in one long, ambitious day running around NYC. It was a dream team, and I really hope listeners enjoy our collective vision for 'Albatross'."
