Album Of The Week

"Rachael Sage är en bra berättare som gör sina låtar till små fristående historier, men som i det stora ändå har en röd tråd. Musiken är lugn och tillbakalutad, spröd, men ändå kraftfull. Rachaels röst ligger som ett duntäcke över hela ljudbilden."

- Tony Berg / Baretta Magazine -

"Jag är förvånad över att inget stort skivbolag har tagit denna stora artist under sina vingar, så pass bra är nämligen Rachael Sage, och den som tvivlar bör bara låna ett par öron till stycket 'Live It Up'."

- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -

"Rachael Sage's ' Canopy' är ett vackert album i linje med 70-talets folkrock, och med lite soulmusik-känsla i fundamentet. En nästan lite sagolik drottning över feernas dimbeslöjade dans. Men det är också drömsk musik a la Fleetwood Mac, konkret kristallklar och skir musik.

- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -

"Following on the heels of her 2 latest releases, 2023’s critically acclaimed 'The Other Side' and 2024’s 'Another Side', Rachael Sage & The Sequins’ new full length album, 'Canopy', continues her ongoing journey of storytelling, reinvention, and emotional connection."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Since founding her own label, MPress Records, Rachael Sage has become known as a philanthropic advocate who has raised money for a wide range of causes. She continues to deliver brightly wrapped records of real quality and the consistency displayed in her writing and her musical craft is well worth your investigation. An excellent album."

- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -

"Be absorbed by Rachael Sage’s soulful writing, hushed vocals, and rich blend of styles."

- Andrew Frolish / Americana UK -

"Rachael Sage's new set 'Canopy' tugs a listener’s ear to her well written, varied collection of primarily ballads that aren’t just stories, but an exercise in imagination. I was immediately taken by 'Live It Up' and the expressive 'Belong To You'. What a beautiful piece of music sung with all the sincerity of a spiritual. She made me cry."

- John Apice / Americana Highways -

"It is truly difficult to single out a special song as a highlight, because Rachael Sage's 'Canopy' works in its entirety, full of deeply moving moods, again timeless music that should endure. And so it would be time for Rachael Sage to finally be included in a hit list of singer songwriters, and in higher ranks."

- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -

"With 'Canopy, 'Rachael Sage & The Sequins delivers a album that is both personally and socially relevant. It invites you to listening in one breath, but also offers enough layers to constantly explore new nuances to discover. It is a work that not only embraces the listener musically, but also also makes a clear appeal, seek connection, be friendly, and find together a place under the canopy."

- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -

"Rachael Sage has been making music for decades, but she is not hugely popular yet, and has to make do with relatively few listeners. This doesn't mean that she hasn't achieved anything as an artist, as she has toured with big names such as Rufus Wainwright, Ani DiFranco, Beth Hart, and Judy Collins in the past. With the latter, she even produced a song in the studio. Rachael Sage can really do something and she has convinced me of her talents with 'Canopy'. Versatile and colorful, this lady is anything but boring."

- William van Voorbergen / Orange Flag Music -

"'Canopy' is a warm, hopeful and reflective listening experience that combines Rachael Sage's intimate songwriting with richer arrangements and a fine band sound. Until this album I didn't know Rachael Sage, but this album invites you to listen to her other 14 released albums!"

- Thijs Walhof / Real Roots Café -

"Just like top quality wine, the work of New York City based singer songwriter Rachael Sage is continuously getting better over the years. That is once again illustrated by her 16th official album, ‘Canopy’, on which she presents 10 newly composed songs and 2 fantastic covers of Buddy Holly’s ‘Everyday’ and of Irving Berlin’s classic ‘God Bless America’."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
