One of the most
recognisable faces (and voices) in Australia thanks to her appearance on
Australia’s biggest ever singing competition, The Voice, Rachael Leahcar is set to release her follow up album ‘Romantique’ on April 26th.
Having made it all the way to third place in the
finals of The Voice, Rachael released her first album ‘Shooting Star’ including the songs she had covered so indelibly -
"Night in White Satin", "La Vie En Rose", "Hands"
and "Someone to Watch Over Me". The album went to #5 on the Aria
Chart and #1 in her home state of South Australia. The success of her debut
release coming down to Rachael’s huge fan base that fell in love not only with
her voice, but her amazing outlook on life.
"I have never viewed
myself as disadvantaged. I view myself as lucky to get a chance at a life in
music. I intend to give my all without having any expectations about where it
might lead. I just try to be grateful for what's happening today".
Following on from her
success on The Voice, Rachael has toured nationally as Delta Goodrem’s special guest, performed shows in Italy with a 35
piece orchestra, and busied herself as an ambassador for NINE’s Carols By Candlelight – fulfilling a
childhood dream by singing 2 songs on Christmas eve.
Spending the last few months in the studio with
producer Bryon Jones, Rachael is now
ready to release her new album - "Romantique"; an exquisite
collection of contemporary, classic and original songs with her love of French
music being reflected in the album’s title. "What
is most exciting about this album for me is the chance to show the diversity in
my musical tastes", says Leahcar, who delivers haunting but unique
versions of Gotye's "Hearts a
Mess" and Adele’s “Chasing
Pavements.”
Fans of her previous work, including her signature
song “La Vie On Rose” won't be disappointed by her typically ethereal and
textured renditions of Louis Armstrong's
"Wonderful World" and Sarah
McLachlan’s “Angel”.
To celebrate the release of ‘Romantique’, Rachael will
be performing tracks from her album during a national run of centre appearances as well as live shows in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
