If you are already accustomed to Rachael Sage\u2019s upbeat and bright songwriting style, prepare yourself for an auditory double-take as the first few notes of new track \u2018Character\u2019 set in.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The latest release from Sage’s upcoming album of the same name, ‘Character’ is a departure from her usual bright and bubbly songwriting style. Instead, making use of cello strings and brooding lyrics, Sage creates a song with a more introspective feel, and it really pays off.<\/p>\n

The song and the lyric video to accompany it both show Rachael picking apart her own psyche, resulting in a track that sounds both vulnerable and strong, simultaneously acknowledging her self-saboteur whilst also making the decision to move past it and carry on despite it all.<\/p>\n

The effect is profoundly impressive.<\/p>\n

This album is exemplary of a tough (to say the least) time in Sage’s life. Diagnosed with endometrial cancer last year, Sage is now fully recovered – and has turned to music throughout her treatment and recovery time to give her strength (and, yes, character) throughout.<\/p>\n

If this song is exemplary of Rachael Sage\u2019s upcoming album, I for one can\u2019t wait to see what the rest of ‘Character’brings.<\/p>\n
