We often say that summer is about beaches. But just listen to the beautiful voice of charming Scottish singer-songwriter Rachel Sermanni and let yourself get transported to the Scottish rugged mountain backdrop in the heart of the Highland skiing fields that Rachel calls home.
At only 20 years old, Rachel Sermanni is already considered one of folk’s brightest newcomers with her debut album Under Mountains, to be released on September 17 in Europe and October 8 in the United States. “Jazz, folk, indie — all the spheres seem to meld together and there are no boundaries,” she says of the album.
To see for yourselves, discover the unbelievably cute video for “Waltz” from the upcoming release. It will leave you with a sense of magic and nostalgia much like the way Rachel seems to feel at the end of the clip:
Her previous EP, Black Currents, garnered support across BBC Radio and topped the Coalition Singles Chart for two weeks.
With a busy summer of festivals this year including Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Belladrum, Summer Sundae and Secret Garden Party as well as tour dates going through October all over the U.K., Rachel Sermanni will win your hearts and ears, you just wait.
Pre-order Under Mountains now and if you’re in Europe, be sure to catch her! Tour dates below.
