“With 'Live It Up' I endeavored to write a neo classic pop rock tune with a positive, hopeful message, as a musical antidote for these tumultuous and divisive times. I also wanted it to have the widest dynamics on my forthcoming album, 'Canopy', and a feel good, uplifting 70's reminiscent sound encompassing the themes of inclusivity, love and acceptance, with an almost over the top, irrepressible energy, like something Mika or Elton John might sing. My band The Sequins are all such passionate and expressive players and we had a fabulous time recording this song together as a band, along with Russ Johnson on horns, who definitely brings the party!” ~ Rachael Sage
