The track is the fourth release from Potter’s upcoming Broadway-Symphonic album Stages, set for release in the Spring of 2025. Joining Potter on this powerful mashup is Natalie Weiss, a celebrated Broadway performer and vocal coach - known for her roles in Everyday Rapture, the national tours of Les Misérables and Wicked, and her popular YouTube series Breaking Down The Riffs. With their incredible vocal chemistry, Potter and Weiss bring new life to these legendary songs.
“Having known Natalie for over a decade, I knew she was exactly the voice we needed to pull this off, and she did not disappoint,” said Potter, “This arrangement is very intentionally non-competitive, but meeting each other where we are in our dark time. There’s a tone of female solidarity that I love, and was very happy to bring it to life together.
Weiss added, “Working with Rachel again has been so epic. I have loved discovering just how similarly we work, whether it be in the recording studio or in the fine-tuning process with audio andvideo notes.”
This fresh vocal arrangement was collaboratively crafted by Rachel Potter, Chris Brent Davis, and David Wise, blending the two iconic character’s ballads. To complement the track, a cinematic performance video was shot at Renaissance Recording in New York City. The video, premiering on YouTube alongside the single release, brings the emotional power of the song to life with dynamic performances from both artists.
“On My Own / I Dreamed a Dream” is available on all major streaming platforms now!
