On her latest offering of self-described “ballet-pop,” Sage delivers a musically ambitious and emotionally accessible tribute to her very first love: dance. Connecting to her roots in ballet, Sage (an out lesbian) “envisioned each song as a fully-choreographed multi-media experience” while crafting the album. The result is an inspired set of piano-based chamber-pop merging orchestral elements with her signature blend of folk, pop, and rock. Available May 20 from MPress Records (mpressrecords.com, rachaelsage.com). —Suzie Lynde
