“This recording was not Barlaam's first: Dennis Quinn, Lambert's husband and a longtime DJ at New York City FM Radio, had already recorded Barlaam in his studio a few years earlier after hearing her perform at one of his wife's recitals. He was doing the announcing and had never heard Barlaam sing before. His reaction to his wife: "Oh my god, she's amazing." His reaction to Barlaam: "Can I record you?" It was just Barlaam's voice and the piano, but it helped the team choose what songs to put on her real EP. Lambert said she laid down tracks in single takes and didn't think anything of it.”

— Mary Clair Fischer, The Diamondback

“Most of Barlaam's subject matter is more relevant to her age — break-up angst, friendship — but one song, "Sing the Cure," deviates from the norm. It was suggested by her father but inspired by her mom...She had just finished composing a melody but hadn't thought of the corresponding lyrics, as is her usual writing process. It was the perfect time to take her father's words to heart and dedicate that tune to the cause she cared most about: Cancer, the disease her mother, Linda, had battled and survived. ”

— Mary Clare Fischer, The Diamondback

“Journey of Healing is one of few EPs I’ve listened to that have left me begging for more. Rachel takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions–bringing you from happy and carefree, to contemplative and inspired. Her vocal stylings exude a soulfulness that is comparable to Joss Stone, while her melodies and lyrics remind you of a more talented Taylor Swift. I’m in love with her tracks “Single Me” and “Jane,” but all her songs are worth the listen. Each tune showcases the diverse scope of Rachel’s talent. All I have to say is look out for this girl because she’s going to take the world by storm.”

— P.Ryan, An Artist Worth the Journey

Questions

Ask Rachel Barlaam anything...

Q: How are you doing? I love your new song! When can I expect to hear more music from you? Hope all is well where you are...

A: Hi! Thanks so much! I'm in London studying abroad and so far it's amazing. Since I'm abroad I can't record until January, so hopefully you'll be hearing more music in the winter. Thanks for asking!
