The track is from the celebrated artist’s new album The Other Side.

On her instantly alluring and affable reimagining of Yazoo’s iconic 1982 single ‘Only You’, New York artist Rachael Sage continues to showcase why the artist is lauded so many, with her charismatic appeal and charm allowing her to leave her own distinctive mark on a track that is already heralded as an all time classic.

The cover and its similarly charming video really bring out the best in Rachael Sage, who’s folky approach and laid-back flair are highlighted by the lush, storytelling nature of the track and its timeless, instantly catchy and recognisable appeal. The artist has made the arrangement her own in trademark style, and it feels just the right amount an homage to the original while having enough about it to make it feel original and exciting all over again. ‘Only You’ is part of the artist’s new album The Other Side, a body of work that features a range of covers from the artist, and this track serves as the perfect introduction to the body of work and her uniquely resonating style.
