Blissful harmonies, hopeful yet powerful lyricism that read like poetry, and ethereal folk-americana instrumentation – yes, Rachael Sage is back and better than ever with the alluring ‘Canopy.’ Titling her highly-anticipated upcoming album, the track kicks off Sage’s journey of artistic reinvention, blending soul-stirring, whisper-like vocals with a classic yet universally resonant message.
The song itself acts as a metaphoric canopy, sheltering the listener from darkness and division. Instead, it invites them into a safe space of compassion, empathy and harmonious folk-pop that soothes. Woven from her own tale of resilience, she longs for peace, expressing that a female-led world would provide the answer to ongoing conflict.
Infused with a gentle, repetitive melody that lingers effortlessly, Rachael’s heartfelt words are accompanied by her trio, Rachael Sage And The Sequins. Featuring violinist Kelly Halloran (Lainey Wilson, Michael Franti) and harmonica player Will Wilde (Walter Trout), the traditional acoustic sound only contributes to her timeless sensibilities, which she’s debuted on UK tour at The Troubadour, London and The Great Escape Festival.
If you’re searching for a song that truly strikes a heartfelt chord – or simply a sense of upliftment – ‘Canopy’ is the lush offering of light you’ve been searching for.
