Rachael Yamagata – Heartache Moon

"Heartache Moon" is a compilation by American singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata, released by the Frankenfisch Records label in 2022. After her first musical steps with the band Bumpus in Chicago, Yamagata ventured to establish herself as a solo artist at the beginning of the new millennium. Influenced by the music of her parents - Carol King, Roberta Flack, James Taylor - and blessed with a smoky voice, she developed a style between rock, pop and jazz reminiscent of her colleagues Alicia Keys and Norah Jones. The indie musician's songs have been heard in series such as "Wilsberg," "Grey's Anatomy" and "How I Met Your Mother.

About "Heartache Moon" she writes herself: "This record is my own private time capsule of deepest emotions. The songs span many records and include a few never released gems - all capturing something beautiful in being broken. It is the deep dive into longing and ache that we dare to face that can allow us to clear its heaviness. I've always found solace in the interpretation of pain. Lyrics can give us a map of what's tried to derail us so that we may finally shine a light on the darkest corners and move through it. These songs are a bit like tonic for the weathered heart; a glimmer of light for the darkness - the 'Heartache Moon'."

"There's that voice that evokes a boozy night in a smoky bar, during which she croons out duet after duet with an imaginary Janis Joplin." - laut.de We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
