Acclaimed alt folk pop singer songwriter Rachael Sage and her stellar longtime band The Sequins have just released "Belong To You", a heartwarming new single from their highly anticipated full length studio album "Canopy", due October 24th, 2025. The timeless song defines what love for family, friends, and romantic partners truly is as Sage sings with simple sincerity, "with a grip as strong as a weatherman’s gaze, I will belong to you, with a torn up rag for a prayer shawl of praise, I will hold on to you, I will be strong for you". The graceful accompanying performance video features Sage on piano with renowned Doug Yowell on drums.

Sage discusses the song, saying, "I wrote 'Belong To You' as a gospel ballad and it was really meaningful that so many of The Sequins ended up singing on it, versus just me singing all the harmonies myself. The Hammond B3 and harmonica, played by Kevin J Killen and Will Wilde, respectively, add so much and Dave Eggar’s cello playing grounds the arrangement so beautifully. The devotion and loyalty of our friendships expressed in the lyrics is something I know we all genuinely feel for one another, and in that sense it’s a very emotional song for me to sing".

"Belong To You" merges pop, gospel and americana in a way that brings to mind the soulfulness of Bonnie Raitt’s unforgettable ballad "I Can’t Make You Love Me", and the wistfulness of Norah Jones' "Don’t Know Why". With Sage's confident piano playing and hushed vocals as its centerpiece, the instantly classic track features gentle acoustic guitar and Hammond B3. Produced by Sage with Grammy® nominee Mikhail Pivovarov, cellist Dave Eggar (Paul Simon) also contributes to the luscious fabric of the song.
