Come in from the cold. I’ll sing for you. Two sets, no cover.

Lemon Fresh Music says of Rachel, “Vocals are totally made for radio, tone is so very endearing, production work is super solid.”
Amy Gee of Click Roll Boom says, “Rachel’s voice is both powerful and possesses a rich and absorbing quality, while also bearing a tender nature with an air of vulnerability.”
B-Side Guys says, “Her style, reminiscent of Neko Case and Lucinda Williams, imbues the track with a deep, soulful quality that speaks directly to the listener’s emotions.”
