New York, NY (Top40 Charts) A new album track from the forthcoming Rachael & Vilray - the debut album by
Lake Street Dive singer-songwriter Rachael Price and composer, singer, and guitarist Vilray - "Let's Make Love on This Plane" debuted today with a video by Robert Edridge-Waks featuring footage from the golden age of jet travel. "'Let's Make Love on This Plane' finds its inspiration in classic 'list songs' like Gershwin's 'They All Laughed' and Porter's 'I Get A Kick Out of You,' both chock full of little jokes," says Vilray. "Here two jetsetters contemplate the famous pioneers of flight and decide to one-up their aerial firsts with a bang."
Rachael & Vilray, due October 4, features ten original songs by Vilray, along with two covers from the era that inspired him: Cuban composer Pedro Junco Jr.'s 1943 "Nosotros" and
Milton Drake/Louis Atler's "I Love the Way You're Breaking My Heart," first popularized by Peggy Lee. Rachael & Vilray tour the US this fall, with stops in Chicago, Seattle, and Brooklyn (details below).
Rachael & Vilray is available for pre-order at iTunes and the Top40-Charts.com Store with an instant download of the new song and the previously release track "Alone at Last." Top40-Charts.com Store orders also include an exclusive, limited-edition print of a painting made by
Hannah Rawe for the occasion and autographed by Rachael and Vilray. The album will also stream at Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and other digital service providers.
