Alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter Rachael Sage has released a colorful new companion video for “Flowers For Free” from her new 15-track full-length studio album, The Other Side (out via MPress Records). The video premiered in Ghetto Blaster and Skope (UK) and is featured currently as one of No Depression’s Fresh Tracks.
Co-produced by Sage with Grammy® winner Andy Zulla and engineer Mikhail Pivovarov, Rachael’s ’60s-influenced “Flowers For Free” is poetic pop-rock at its most adventurous. Beatle-esque wah guitar, baroque trumpet flourishes, chamber strings and Sage’s pulsing piano ground this psychedelic song about never giving up on this earthly life or into the temptation of complacency. Sage’s band, The Sequins, drives the track, with guest guitarists James Mastro (Ian Hunter) and Jack Petruzzelli (Rufus Wainwright) bringing the retro vibes.
Watch “Flowers For Free” HERE.
Filmed at Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, singer-songwriter/visual artist Rachael Sage’s “Flowers For Free” video is three and a half minutes of pure joy. It’s also an apt landscape for a song that, as Sage reveals, is “essentially about the power of self-expression to carry us through crisis.” Directed by John Shyloski and art directed by Sage, the clip showcases the mosaic-based artwork of Isaiah Zagar, in whose colorful mosaics she immediately sensed a stylistic kinship. As she explores this otherworldly environment – playing her own hand-decorated instruments and wearing vibrant attire – the psychedelic, Beatle-esque track comes to life in glorious 3D, and the viewer can’t help but feel transported. As Sage explains: “Isaiah’s gorgeous sense of color and composition, along with his decades of local community outreach through visual art, have made me a longtime fan. It was truly an honor to be able to shoot in such a positive, uplifting urban environment. I was in heaven being surrounded by his creations, and reminded just how much color and light has the ability to shift our perspective for the better.”
Sage’s latest studio album is the most grounded of her illustrious career. The Other Side‘s 15 tracks of emotionally charged and intricately woven music recall the classic, retro-warmth of the ’70s and ’80s, and are as instantly hummable as they are lyrically poignant. With memorable Americana-infused pop hooks and folk-fueled poeticism, Sage’s timeless writing reminds us what’s most important is always worth waiting for, via songs steeped in just the right amount of best-is-yet-to-come optimism.
Blending a myriad of genres and instruments into a cohesive and captivating whole, the album’s musical collaborators include guitarists Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith) and James Mastro (Ian Hunter), trumpet player Russ Johnson (Elvis Costello), bassist Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo), and guest vocals from UK pop icon Howard Jones (featured on “I Made A Case”).
The digital album, vinyl and deluxe physical CD – featuring 12 paintings by Sage, photographs by Studio 54 photographer Bill Bernstein, along with a Bonus Disc of alternate mixes – can be streamed/ordered at: mpress.lnk.to/TheOtherSide

“I wanted to create a story that transports readers back to a time when things were a bit simpler, and kids embarked on grand adventures with nothing but determination and their bikes,” said author Matt Conn. “Sam’s journey reflects the universal themes of perseverance, friendship, and the magic of childhood, all wrapped up in the vibrant suburban setting of the 1990s.”
“Trade Show” is a heartwarming narrative that appeals to readers of all ages. Conn’s background in comedy shines through as he masterfully infuses the story with wit and humor, making it a delightful read for both young and adult audiences. The novel serves as a gentle reminder of the power of imagination, friendship, and the bonds that shape our lives.

With the cost of living on the rise and many feeling the strain, burnout is at an all-time high, especially for people in leadership roles.
This was the place Laetitia Andrac found herself when she was living what many would consider to be a charmed life in Paris with a high-flying career, exciting social life, and Marc Jacobs handbag. It was then she realized that the key to a successful business and fulfilling life was to reconnect with the thing that is essential for any entrepreneur — intuition.
Discover how Laetitia Andrac found alignment in life and business and how others can do the same when Grammar Factory Publishing releases “Light It: How to Trust Your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business.” In this inspiring new bestseller, Laetitia takes readers through her proven LIGHT framework that helps entrepreneurs reconnect with their inner knowledge, wisdom and light, and grow a soul-aligned business that goes beyond surface-level success. “Light It: How to Trust Your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business” is available now for pre-order and will be sent on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, from Amazon, Booktopia, and Barnes & Noble.
Now living in Sydney, Australia, with her husband and two young daughters, Laetitia is a highly respected business and intuition coach whom hundreds of women have worked with to change the direction of their businesses by reconnecting with their inner voice. It was from her experience working with women who came to her burnt out from the daily hustle in their business that she felt driven to write “Light It.”
“My intention with this book is really to show a new way to be a business owner and reclaim your intuition as a guide, but also how to go through the LIGHT framework and embrace your own path forward,” says Laetitia.
“Light It: How to Trust Your Intuition and Build a Thriving Business” will be available on eBook for $9.99 and paperback for $27.45.
Synopsis
“Tired of feeling disconnected from your intuition? Being connected online 24/7 leads to increased levels of stress and burnout, especially for entrepreneurs and leaders who often prioritize their ‘hustle’. Too often, entrepreneurs and leaders just like you look outside for validation. The answer to your problems has always been there, within you. The reality is that intuition in business isn’t just nice to have. It’s essential. Intuition helps us connect with creativity and make bold decisions that distinguish us from other entrepreneurs. You don’t always need a breakdown for a breakthrough to happen. Through the five-step LIGHT framework, author Laetitia Andrac helps you reconnect with your inner knowing, wisdom, and light.”
