Rachael Sage’s soul-stirring blend of poetic folk-Americana returns to captivate hearts with ‘Canopy,’ the luminous lead single from her forthcoming album. In one of her most heartfelt and melodically rich offerings to date, Sage weaves a powerful call for inclusivity, compassion, and unity – a tender anthem of hope in an era marked by division and unrest.
Rooted in her own journey of resilience, the song’s empowering message is delicately woven into a rich tapestry of sliding guitars, wistful lyricism, and a current of hope that flows effortlessly from start to finish. Sage’s gentle, breathy vocals cast a dreamlike spell, perfectly echoing the track’s comforting spirit and its quiet determination to seek light amid the shadows. As the melodic chorus chimes on, it unites in a cinematic crescendo, flourishing in beauty and mirroring her ability to reinvent herself whilst remaining to her classic folk roots.
Bringing the song to life, the video, drenched in sunlight and surrounded by the simplicity of nature, allows the song’s compassionate feel and lush instrumentation to sour. Reflecting her colourful style, her eyelids are painted in a rainbow tapestry, nodding to her commitment to the LGBTQ+ community and uplifting character that seeps into every song she endeavours.
As the release of her forthcoming album edges closer, for now, Sage will be allowing fans under her exquisite canopy on UK tour this spring. Appearing in venues such as The Troubadour, London on May 12th, she’ll be joined by her trio Rachael Sage and The Sequins, featuring renowned violinist Kelly Halloran (Lainey Wilson, Michael Franti) and Will Wilde, a fast-rising blues-rock harmonica player (Walter Trout).
Step into a world of empathy and enchantment with Rachael Sage, and lose yourself in the haunting beauty of her timeless track, ‘Canopy’.
