RADAR: Rising Aussie Artist GRAACE Is Paving Her Way To Stardom With Breezy Single “Hard To Say”
“HARD TO SAY”
"This infectious song has us hooked from beginning to end." - Ladygunn
"a pop ballad for your guilty conscience." - The FADER
"Honest and intimate like a spoken diary entry" - The Line of Best Fit
"The Australian riser is brutally honest with herself, a songwriter whose potent melodic approach lingers with remarkable, self-effacing lyricism." - Clash
Australian Singer/songwriter GRAACE showcases her insane talent, through the single « Hard To Say », and it’s quite hard not to fall for her bewitching voice.
Indeed, the first time we heard about GRAACE, it was in 2018, via her single « Last Night ». Back then, she had about 150K monthly listeners on Spotify and today that number has increased to 1.25M. Which proves the relevance and consistency of her craft. With her latest single "Hard To Say", she is definitely going to top charts, not only in Australia, but worldwide.
Of course, the single "Hard To Say" is not only fresh and loaded with moving melodies but it's also versatile, especially with the incorporation of her fellow rapper I.E.'s verse. It's a brilliant musical blend, with a smart fusion between Pop, R&B and Hip-hop. Note that these types of productions are the one that easily stand out. Stream below and let us know what you think.
