Rachael Sage Delivers Delightful Video/Single of Yazoo Classic ‘Only You’ Ahead of New Album

The Other Side Out July 21

Award-winning alt-folk-pop singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Rachael Sage has just released a bubbly companion video to her single “Only You” from her forthcoming full-length studio album, The Other Side (out July 21, 2023, via MPress Records). A reinterpretation of the ’80s Yazoo classic, Rachael’s take on the song features its timeless melody with an updated arrangement complimenting Sage’s folky storytelling approach. The track is as much a revamp as it is a respectful homage to the beloved UK synth-pop original. Sage’s own acoustic guitar, Wurlitzer and Jupiter-8 synth parts, receive support from her longtime band The Sequins, including Grammy®-nominated cellist Dave Eggar.

Premiering in Guitar Girl, the dynamic video depicts a jubilant Sage recording in her closet, rehearsing in her living room, and dancing like nobody’s watching. Enjoy “Only You” here!

Sage explains her inspiration for covering the song, saying “A few years ago I saw the incredible Alison Moyet perform at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, and it had a huge impact on me. I had listened to Yazoo a lot as a kid (‘Upstairs At Eric’s’ was a cassette mainstay), and always admired how deceptively simple their sound was. Trendy arpeggiated synths couldn’t mask the fact that their songs were absolutely timeless and that the melody of a song like ‘Only You’ was equally an earworm as it was emotionally universal. I hope that if Alison and Vince Clarke (of the original group Yazoo) hear this track, they’ll feel how inspired I was by their work and that my stylistic spin on it will make them smile!”

The digital album, vinyl and deluxe physical CD – featuring 12 paintings by Sage, photographs by renowned Studio 54 photographer Bill Bernstein, along with a Bonus Disc of alternate mixes – can be pre-saved/ pre-ordered at: mpress.lnk.to/TheOtherSide. Both the audio and video versions of “Only You” are available on all streaming platforms and YouTube.

The inaugural 3XP Web3 Gaming Expo, Community Gaming’s flagship event, took place on June 8-9 in Pasadena, California.

Now on View: ‘Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery’ at the Vilcek Foundation

Now on View: ‘Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery’ at the Vilcek Foundation

Developed in partnership with the School for Advanced Research and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the exhibition features more than 100 historic and contemporary works of Native American pottery.

The Vilcek Foundation is pleased to present Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery, with dual presentations at the foundation’s Manhattan headquarters and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from July 2023 through June 2024. Developed in partnership with the School for Advanced Research (SAR), the exhibition includes more than 100 historical and contemporary works of Native American pottery originating in the Pueblo communities of what is now the southwestern United States. 

The exhibition at the Vilcek Foundation opens July 13, 2023, and is on view through June 2, 2024, by appointment. Tours will be conducted by the foundation’s Native American Art Fellow, Povi Romero (Pojoaque, Cochiti, Santa Clara, and Ohkay Owingeh).

The works included in Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery were selected by members of the Pueblo Pottery Collective from the Vilcek Collection and from the collections of the School for Advanced Research and the Indian Arts Research Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The collective, established specifically for the purpose of this exhibition, comprises more than 60 curators of diverse ages, backgrounds, and professions from more than 20 Native American communities, as well as non-Native museum professionals. 

Curators wrote about the works they selected for the exhibition and its accompanying catalog. Grounded in Clay is enriched by their voices and the diversity of personal, historical, and cultural insights they bring to exhibition visitors’ understanding of these works. The curators’ essays range from recollections on the practices of gathering clay and preparing pigments to poetry and essays reflecting on the works and their meanings. Several curators wrote about the living traditions of pottery-making and today’s artists and makers whose work links the present and future of pottery-making to the rich and important history of pottery-making in Pueblo communities.

Felicia Garcia (Chumash) of the Santa Ynez Chumash Museum and Cultural Center and of Native American Art Magazine, writes, “Exhibitions like this are really pushing the needle forward within the field and changing the way that Native art is presented within these spaces. Through this diverse collective of Native voices, we can see what is possible within these institutions when it comes to representing Native communities in a more honest, positive, and accurate way.” 

As Grounded in Clay: The Spirit of Pueblo Pottery opens in New York, the Vilcek Foundation launches a digital experience, Pueblo Pottery: Stories in Clay, online. The foundation worked with Pentagram to develop the experience, which serves to highlight and expand on the curatorial insights that make Grounded in Clay so unique, and to bring these insights to a wider audience. Users can navigate three-dimensional views of selected works of pottery that were captured using photogrammetry with the support of foundation partners at Cortina Productions and Forum One.

About Dead & Company

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 and quickly became one of the most successful touring bands year over year. Since its formation, the band has completed seven tours and became a record-breaking stadium act when it set Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance for a single concert, which still holds to this day. Having toured consistently since its 2015 debut, the band has held 164 concerts, performed 143 unique songs and has played to nearly four million fans.

Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Fenway Park, Citi Field, Gillette Stadium, Folsom Field, Dodger Stadium, Wrigley Field, and Autzen Stadium, as well as multiple night-stands at Madison Square Garden, the Forum, Hollywood Bowl, and  Shoreline Amphitheatre. Between tours, Dead & Company hosts its annual “Playing in the  Sand,” an all-inclusive concert vacation that features multiple nights of Dead & Company on an intimate beach in Mexico. 

Across all tours at the band’s legendary Participation Row, the Dead & Company community has taken more than 100,000 actions in support of various local nonprofits and national social impact organizations and causes including voter registration with HeadCount and environmental actions with REVERB. Since 2015, efforts on tour have eliminated the use of 100,000 single-use plastic water bottles at shows and raised funds to support climate justice and carbon-reduction projects, which prevented 33,700 tons of CO2e from entering the atmosphere, the equivalent of 83.5 million miles driven by gas-powered cars. Throughout the seven tours, the total raised directly from the band as well as fan auctions and other efforts is now over $3 million, providing direct support to HeadCount, REVERB and the Dead Family nonprofit organizations, as well as the nonprofit ocean conservation organization Oceana and MusiCares, among others.
