Her new single ‘Sure Thing (Reimagined)’ and the deluxe edition of her #1 ARIA album Finally Clear were released last week.

Raechel will also be touring with Adam Harvey and is scheduled to perform at both Tamworth and Boots and Beach Country Music Festivals.
As described by Country Music Capital News, Whitchurch is “a perceptive, thoughtful songwriter who deftly crafts her music to create songs that are personal yet universal – the mark of a true songwriter”. And a true songwriter will craft songs that are suited to different treatments and different performance styles.
“I wrote Sure Thing in 2015 when I was working away from home on Kenny Rogers’ Australian Tour,” Raechel said. “I just wanted to write a love song about my husband for our 5th wedding anniversary. I ended up putting Sure Thing on an EP called ‘Outlaw’ in 2016, but since we’ve been out on the road the last year, I’ve been opening my set with it. I’ve loved playing it live so much that I decided to re-record it.”
‘Sure Thing (Reimagined)’ was re-arranged and recorded by multi award winning producer Matt Fell at his Love Hz Studios. “The new version is completely different. It is piano driven and doesn’t even have an acoustic guitar on it! I decided to call it ‘Sure Thing (Reimagined)’ because it was so different to what I imagined it could be.”
Finally Clear has already delivered four hit singles which received extensive national airplay, including ‘My Father’, which peaked at #9 on The Music Network Hot 50 airplay charts.
