RELEASED on her own record label, the 10th album from New York singer-songwriter Rachael Sage is a collection of radio-friendly personal songs.
And by radio-friendly I mean Radio 2-friendly. It would be perfect as the soundtrack to the US teen angst drama Dawson’s Creek on TV.
The best songs, the title track and Happiness (Maddie’s Song), are impressive, expansive piano-led ballads reminiscent of Vanessa Carlton’s hit A Thousand Miles.
