Rising star Grace Grundy today releases the final single to be taken from her debut EP, With You In Mind which is out now. Happy Without Me was co-written by Grace and two of her closest collaborators, Simon Cripps and Tony Ferrari (Monsta X, New Hope Club and more). It was the product of grief consuming the singer-songwriter, following the sad passing of her Nan.
Grace explains of the track, “It’s about a pact my parents made when they met that they never wanted to hold one another back from happiness. I love the romance in loving someone enough to be prepared to let them go. It felt like the perfect song to end with as it was where it all started!”
Co-written by the pop songstress, the With You In Mind EP spans 6 tracks exploring themes including romance, hopefulness and acceptance. These include previously released singles the ethereal Headspace, the relatable Boys On Posters, Wish I Could Stay, the brand new Happy Without Me, plus the unheard Stupid Reckless and Losers Together. Listen here.
Grace explains of the release, “After lots of experimentation and self-examination these songs are exactly what I want to say as an artist right now and it’s a culmination of lots of long nights, train rides, different cities and most importantly the many wonderfully talented people who have helped make it what it is.
I have loved making covers of my favourite songs and putting my own spin on them but I’ve always felt I had more to say as an artist. I grew up obsessed with music and art so to have had to chance to create these songs and the world around them as been a dream. It’s a totally different level of nerves and care when all these songs have come from such a personal place and I can’t wait to get them out there.”
2022 has seen the Cheltenham-based artist release a slew of singles, including her debut original single, Wish I Could Stay. The visualiser, which was released alongside the track, has amassed almost 100k views on YouTube, and can be seen here.
