Following the lead of such self-contained contemporaries as Ani DiFranco, this young NYC artist releases in '98 (on her own label, of course!) her second album of lush, ethnically-tinged pop songs that are as catchy as they are emotionally insightful. This self-taught singer/ songwriter/ pianist crafts songs grounded in honesty, empathy and a healthy dose of cynicism. Inspired by an eclectic mix of influences (including Carole King, Elvis Costello, The Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco and Gershwin as well as elements of Irish, Russian and Middle Eastern music), Rachael creates a unique mix of poetry and melody. Don't miss out, we recommend this!
