Here Comes the Sun is the third studio album by Australian recording artist Rachael Leahcar. The album was released on 11 April 2014, through Universal Music Australia. The album, a collection of Beatles covers, was announced on March 31, 2014 [1] Leahcar described the album as “really special”. [2]
The idea for the album came about when Leahcar's record label, Universal, asked if she would be interested in doing a concept album. According to Leahcar, the album was "quite last minute" and was completed in just a few weeks. In addition to the songs featured on the album, Leahcar revealed she had also recorded other Beatles songs including, " The Fool on the Hill", " If I Fell", and " Dear Prudence", but they were ultimately cut. " Norwegian Wood" was also cut from the album due to the lyrical content. Leahcar explained, "I didn't think it was really 'me' to sing it"! [3]
Leahcar's version of " Across the Universe" also appears on Then & Now: Australia Salutes The Beatles, a compilation album celebrating 50 years since The Beatles first came to Australia. [4]
