Happenstance

Rachael Yamagata

Smoky piano-led confessions and lush chamber-pop arrangements. A nocturnal debut defined by raspy vocals and the heavy, beautiful weight of heartbreak.

June 8, 2004 · RCA Victor

Find on Amazon

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Happenstance sound next to the rest of Rachael Yamagata's catalogue?

Melancholic+0.9σ

Melancholic saturates this record a touch more than the artist's norm.
