Upclosemusic.com recently caught up with Rachel Farris for a Q&A and asked the singer what her opinion is on the music industry today, with the hype being more focused on the image of being sexy, rather than the actual music. “It’s sad to me. I wish I could be friends with all those girls and remind them to wear more clothes,” Farris said. “I think it stinks how easy it is to get caught up in the industry with the execs telling them what they need to do to sell more records or when they see how it works they want to do it on their own. I would rather not be a singer/songwriter if it means you can’t sell enough records to put food on the table without exposing yourself to do it. That’s when I quit!”

Rachel Farris spoke with the Associated Press about her independent recording label embedding a multimedia CD in the lids of soft drink cups at movie theaters across the nation and a few theme parks which features two songs and video clips. “I’m just hoping it will (get) a good reaction,” she said. “It’s a totally new idea, and there’s always risk involved.”

Rachel Farris’ debut album ‘Soak’ will now be released on May 6th instead of May 20th. You can listen to four tracks from her debut, including the first single ‘I’m Not The Girl’ at Rachelsmusic.com.
