Rachael is one of the most talented song-writers ever, and her voice sounds like a mix of whiskey, love and the beach at sundown. When I got the chance to chat with her at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, it was clear: Rachael is the coolest human alive.

She gave me love advice, she talked about her new record Chesapeake and she talked about appearing the new movie Renee, based on the To Write Love on Her Arms movement.

Check out the video and go buy every single one of her records, wait until it rains and then cuddle with your dog and it will be magical. Promise.
