She will release her new song, "Disarm, Distrust" which was written in response to attack in Orlando.�

"Like so many of my peers, I was overwhelmed with sadness when the news hit and of course knew that we had to do something," said Sage, an active member of the LGBT community who has performed at Pride Festivals from London to San Francisco. Sage was horrified by the attack on the Pulse Nightclub and immediately wanted to show solidarity. Within days, Sage had penned this poignant song.
