“I had no idea when I wrote these songs in moments of vulnerability that they would go on to change my life. For a decade, they’ve lived out in the world, carrying their own weight. They’ve been parts of your moments of strength, doubt, and connection,” Rachel wrote on Instagram, revealing that she’ll be releasing the newly re-recorded songs on Tuesday (August 26).
Rachel is celebrating the 10th anniversary of “Fight Song” being released with the re-records.
She continued in the caption, “I’ve gone back to some of my originals, not to change them, but to reclaim them. This is about more than just new versions of old songs; the new Rachel’s Versions are infused with the voice I have now, the wisdom I’ve gained, and the undeniable pride of owning my own masters.”
She went on to credit Taylor‘s journey re-recording her music for inspiring her to re-visit her own songs. She wrote in the caption, “I’m grateful to @TaylorSwift for bringing this conversation to light and empowering artists to take back control over their work, their stories, and their futures.”
In another post, Rachel also announced a special one-night performance to celebrate 10 years of “Fight Song.”
