Rachael Sage Premier ‘Albatross (Reimagined)’
Unfolding her soul-stirring ballad ‘Albatross (Reimagined)’ with cinematic splendour, New York-based singer-songwriter and visionary Rachael Sage unveils a new music video rich in visual poetry and human longing.
Directed by Pearl Flanagan, with cinematography by Mike Flanagan, the video navigates fractured landscapes of New York, layered in colours and textures that echo Sage’s lyrical intricacies. Each frame is a portrait of introspection and resolve, capturing an atmosphere of tender vulnerability as an improvisational dance performance lends a visceral, ethereal quality to Sage’s evocative lyrics.
Filmed and edited by John Shyloski, the video immerses viewers in a journey through personal and collective trials. With resonant symbolism, ‘Albatross (Reimagined)’ explores the tension between isolation and connection, grief and grace. Here, amidst streets and glimmers of light, Sage poses an essential question: What does it mean to be human?—a timely reflection on the complexities of hope in our unsettled world.
A powerful reinterpretation from her celebrated album Another Side, this reimagined track draws inspiration from 70s folk with Sage’s unique blend of acoustic warmth and profound lyricism. Released under MPress Records, ‘Albatross (Reimagined)’ embodies Sage’s dedication to creating art with purpose.
Following the release of Another Side, Sage is currently captivating audiences across the UK with a series of headline shows and performances supporting the renowned Scottish act Hue and Cry, fresh from her recent tour with Will Young.
