New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Rachael Sage has premiered her new video for the song "
Alive" via Spill Magazine. The track appears on her new album "Myopia", out now via MPress Records. The video was shot in a Brooklyn loft and features pint-sized Dance Moms star Elliana Walmsley. The dynamic clip was directed by Nick Clark and choreographed by Gianna Martello (also of Dance Moms). "
Alive" was mixed by Grammy® Winner Andy Zulla (Kelly Clarkson, Idina Menzel, Rod Stewart).
Explains Sage, "'Alive' is the most upbeat, positive song on my new album 'Myopia', and after I wrote it I felt very protective of it - like there was something precious about remembering to appreciate the gift of simply living, even as the world becomes ever-more chaotic. There's a sense of anticipation and optimism in the lyrics, from the get-go...and it was very important to me that we capture the pure exuberance of the music via the movement of our brilliant young dancer Elliana Walmsley, whose sheer stamina was nothing short of staggering, on set; watching her fly through the air take after take with a smile on her face, bursting with the sheer joy of doing what she loves - however arduous - literally gave me hope for our future!"
A prolific visual artist as well as a musician, Rachael Sage will be showing new "Myopia"-inspired artworks from now through June 23rd at Think Gallery (1 Bleecker St. near Bowery) NYC. The gallery will also be presenting a special reception for Sage's new work on May 30th, where fans can meet the artist, have a free glass of wine and ask questions in an intimate, casual atmosphere. Sage primarily paints with acrylics, fabric paints and watercolors, often incorporating diverse materials such as sequins, rhinestones, glitter and newspaper.
