As her new single Too Damn Hot continues its unstoppable climb on the Country Radio Charts, Australian artist Rachael Fahim today unveils the accompanying official video filmed in Sydney.
Fresh off a recent trip to Nashville, it didn’t take the country-pop artist long to rally creative director Sheisaphrodite and a group of her friends for the Too Damn Hot video. The song is the perfect cocktail of the ups and the downs of life and love, and like all of Rachael’s songs, penned straight from her real life.
Produced by Robby De Sa (Flume, Vera Blue) and Liam Quinn (Dean Lewis, Rita Ora), Too Damn Hot is a sassy pick-yourself-up anthem, a country-pop Good Luck Babe that intersects Rachael’s core themes of vulnerability and empowerment that embodies so much of her songwriting.
Already added to KIIS ATB, KIX Country, iHeart Country, ABC Country, Nova Fresh Country, Australian Country Radio, Triple M Country and currently sitting at # 12 on the Australian Radio Charts after only 2 weeks at radio, Too Damn Hot is inspired by Rachael’s niece and “her sassy wisdom,” Rachael explains.
“I was at my sister’s engagement party, fresh off a breakup nobody knew about yet, and was trying hard to hold it together. Nikki and I slipped off to the bar for a life-debrief when I started crying. She listened to me for a while before abruptly interrupting and yelling at me (lovingly), “RACH YOU’RE TOO DAMN HOT TO CRY!” resulting in us both bursting into laughter. I wrote the words in my phone and totally stole her line, but I don’t think she minds – she’s proudly wearing the ‘muse’ crown! So, this song is me sending that message out to all the broken-hearted girls out there.”
Too Damn Hot is the capstone to a massive year for the singer-songwriter, which has included a huge 56-date national tour as special guest of Pete Murray, opening for Missy Higgins at Night On The Barracks , three hit singles in Good Luck and Who You Are (#2 on the country charts), following on from 2024’s Dance Around It , and the announcement Rachael will support US super-star Jordan Davis on his arena run of Australian dates next year.
Who You Are joins an incredibly select list of Australian country songs to be embraced by pop radio, joining Keith Urban and Morgan Evans, but the first Australian based artist to hit the milestone first established by her hero Kasey Chambers with Not Pretty Enough – one of the songs that inspired Rachael to pursue country music in the first place.
Rachael’s ability to connect with the audience at a massive pop show as well as hardcore country fans at festivals like CMC Rocks speaks both to her distinctive blend of country music with influences from pop singer-songwriters like Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo, but also to the way that people fall in love with the beautifully transparent songwriting that reminds them of their own triumphs and struggles.
Along with supporting Jordan Davis next year, Rachael Fahim will headline her own Tamworth Country Music Festival show at Moonshiners on January 21st, 2026.
