Seasons greetings and Happy Merry, to all our wonderful Rachael Sage listeners & MPress Records supporters!

As another rollercoaster of a year wraps (understatement), we sincerely hope this note finds you happy, healthy and enjoying great music! Have you spun Rachael's JOY! holiday EP yet, or shared her brand new spoken-word project POETICA with someone you love who enjoys jazz & poetry? No time like the present! (Yes, a bad pun but hey, it's the holidays :)

We'd also like to express some big sparkly gratitude to each and every one of y'all for continuing to follow your favorite glitterfrau on her creative adventures. Did you know that this year marks 25 years since Rachael released her debut album, MORBID ROMANTIC?! Whether you're among those who've been listening from the beginning or a brand new follower, Rachael's thrilled and thankful to be able to share her music with you – and hopefully, she'll be serenading you in person before too long. While Rachael & her label MPress Records have lots of exciting things brewing for you, now is a great time to pause, enjoy downtime with loved ones, and celebrate.

*Without further ado, here's our list of Rachael's Top 15 Creative Highlights of 2021!*

xoxo, light & gratitude!
Rachael & Team MPress
