On 14 October 2022, wildly creative free-form songwriter Rachael Dadd is to release her brand new studio album Kaleidoscope via Memphis Industries. Like so many people disconnected from their communities and struggling through the lockdowns, Rachael Dadd turned inwards, seeking escape through music and connection through song writing, and her hope is that when people listen to Kaleidoscope' they will feel held and find space to breathe, grieve and celebrate.

Co-produced "intuitively, boldly, and playfully" by Rachael and Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Emily Barker, Maja Lena), Kaleidoscope includes musical collaborators such as Maja Lena (Low Chimes), long-time collaborator Emma Gatrill (Willy Mason), Alex Heane (bass), Charlotte West (synths), Alex Garden (strings) and Flux producer Marcus Hamblett (Villagers, James Holden, The Staves), giving the record "just the right colour combination, just the right pattern of shapes, plenty of space where needed and finally landing in a sound world that feels fresh and open and true reflects Rachael.

Japanese aesthetics absorbed from time spent living there are subconsciously woven into Rachaels songs. "I first stepped foot in Tokyo in 2008, sparked by the adventure of such rich and different culture and later on I lived on a small island and experienced an appealing and balanced way of life: the aesthetics, the art and the traditions, she recalls. There was a lot of caring for each other, a lot of gentleness, and a lot of simple living in harmony with nature. Japan left its cultural mark on me and is now part of my inner world and Im sure this comes out with the words and music I write.

But overall Rachael explains this is an album of homecoming and reconnecting to my own truth, to my community here, to the earthy land that I love and to the sky that I know."
