Talented and expressive, singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has recently released her stunning new single “Belong To You” across all major streaming platforms. This folk — and Americana — inspired slow jam centers on themes of devotion and the enduring loyalty of friendship. With lyrics like “I will be strong for you,” Rachael delivers a heartfelt message of support and love, wrapped in beautiful harmonica and cello arrangements.
For the first time, Rachael is joined by her longtime band, The Sequins, whose vocal harmonies add rich depth to the track. Notably, violinist Kelly Halloran — who performed with the Goo Goo Dolls — contributes her exceptional talent, bringing another layer to the song.
Rachael expressed immense gratitude for having the band involved, saying their musical gifts transformed the track into something far more special than she could have imagined. The song is said to be the most universal track on the record, and fans have already come up to her at shows and shared their own interpretations of it has been a rewarding experience.
Rachael is also currently on the North American leg of her Joy = Resistance tour in celebration of “Belong To You” as well as her upcoming album Canopy, which was released on Oct. 24. The tour has been making stops at many cities including Beacon, New York tomorrow. She was in New Jersey back on Oct. 11 in Fanwood and had a show in New York City at The Cutting Room. A portion of every ticket was donated to The Trevor Project, the famed non-profit organization dedicating its work to suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth.
The compassion Rachael exudes on tour — and that flows through the melodies of “Belong To You” — is set to carry into her upcoming album, a collaborative project with The Sequins. This masterful 14-track collection centers on themes of self-acceptance, radical inclusivity, and building a more compassionate future.
Already acclaimed as a gifted storyteller, multi-instrumentalist, and prolific songwriter, Rachael continues to create musical experiences that bring light to an often dark world. With Canopy, she hopes to offer a sense of safety and belonging — a soundtrack for these challenging times. In an era marked by division and fear, her hope is that the album can offer a bit of joy and healing to those who need it most.
It is a truly exciting time in Rachael’s career, and if you have not heard her music yet, you don’t want to miss out. If you are looking for songs that are full of love and light, she is an artist that truly encompasses those elements, mixing a sweet singer-songwriter alternative folk sound with powerful inclusivity and social justice themes.
Having been a fierce philanthropic advocate for organizations such as Foundation for Women’s Cancer and WHY Hunger, she is an artist whose every part of her career is focused on making the world a more equal and safe space for everyone, with not just her music, but also true heartfelt actions.
