Illustrious and riveting, <b>Rachael Sage</b> is a born performer. With mesmerizing vocals, a natural talent for songwriting and flair in droves, it’s no surprise that the gorgeous songstress has garnered attention internationally. “</span><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Haunted
By You</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">”, set to hit via Rachael's own
<b>MPress Records</b> on <b>May 8</b>, is a song cycle about passion and features guest vocalists
<b><i>Dar Williams</i></b>, <b><i>Katie Costello</i></b> and actor/director <b><i>Joshua Leonard</i></b> ("<i>Blair Witch Project", "Humpday"</i>).
</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">The NYC-based artist and producer explains, “<i>I fell recklessly in and out of love multiple times while writing this record. I broke a couple hearts…and I also had my heart broken pretty
badly.</i>” “<b>Haunted By You</b>” is a record that is immediately welcoming, pulling you in from the very first melodies and swirling effortlessly and seductively through your ears and into your heart on the very first listen.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Rachael Sage has become one of the busiest touring artists in independent music, performing 150+ dates a year throughout the US, UK, Europe and Asia. Recognized globally for her compelling
work, she has seen airplay on <b>BBC Radio 2</b> and has shared stages with <b><i>Ani DiFranco</i></b>,
<b><i>Sarah McLachlan</i></b>, <b><i>Colin Hay</i></b>, <b><i>Judy Collins</i></b>,
<b><i>Marc Cohn</i></b> and <b><i>Shawn Colvin</i></b>. Rachael has performed at the
<b>Edinburgh Fringe Festival</b> and New York’s <b>Fashion Night Out</b>. She’s garnered many accolades including the
<b>Grand Prize</b> in <b>The John Lennon Songwriting Contest</b> as well as several
<strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">OUTmusic</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";font-weight:normal"> and</span></strong>
<b>Independent Music Awards</b>. Rachael's songs have been licensed to <b>HBO</b>,
<b>MTV</b>, and <b>Lifetime television</b> and her music has also appeared in the movie and on the Lakeshore Films soundtrack of "<b>Fame</b>".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Sage wrote the dozen songs on the album on piano and guitar after ending a long-term relationship. Alone, reflecting on her breakup, she found herself suddenly prolific.
After her breakup she had an intense affair with someone she met overseas. “<i>I was swept off my feet… but it was an impossible situation</i>.” “<b><u>Soulstice</u></b>”, featuring
<b>Counting Crows’</b> <b>David Immergluck</b> on mandolin, “<i>captures that moment where I was as happy as I’ve ever been, even though it was fleeting</i>.” The concept of soul-mates reappears throughout the record. Rachael wrote the Americana-inspired “<b><u>Abby</u></b>“
about someone with whom she shared one long conversation after a gig, but with whom she connected so strongly that she saw an entire future. Likewise, the lush, acoustic guitar-based “<b><u>Everything</u></b>” celebrates the shameless joy of a new attraction,
“<i>when all you can see is shimmering possibility</i>.” </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">Rachael, while a storied artist in her own right, is also an accomplished business woman, running her own successful independent label
<b>MPress Records</b>, which saw its first <b>GRAMMY</b> nod this year with <b><i>Seth Glier’s</i></b> “<b>The Next Right Thing</b>” as well as their first Billboard charting record with
<b><i>Melissa Ferrick’s</i></b> “<b>Still Right Here</b>”. Sage also produces her label's annual charity compilation series, "<b>New Arrivals</b>", whose current volume benefits homeless youth.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
