NEW MUSIC: VALENCIA GRACE | IT WAS YOU
Dorset-raised singer/songwriter Valencia Grace officially released her debut single, "It Was You," a striking ballad written at her grandmother's piano. Having recently taken the plunge and moved to London, singer/songwriter Valencia Grace spent most of her formative years in Poole, Dorset. The scenic tourist trap is excellent for a coastal caper or two, but as Grace tells us, it's a place where "everything starts looking the same," on the contrary, in London, "there's never a silent night." "I've had more opportunities to go out and explore," she explains, "living somewhere where every time you turn the corner, you see a new face and a new little shop you must’ve missed is inspiring." Her debut single began to take life back at home, a tentative voice memo recorded almost a year ago. Written as a response to a dark moment earlier in her teens, Grace explains there's a message she hopes listeners take from it. "There will be people in your life who hurt you, whether they mean to or not, and it's up to you to be able to hold yourself together and be resilient through it," she reveals, "what's waiting on the other side of recovery is a stronger and more grounded version of you because of that situation." "It Was You" emerges into the world; there's more music coming soon; At the same time, she describes this limbo period anticipating the release as both "the scariest and best feeling ever, like a massive drum roll," she's set to do it all over again as she puts the finishing touches on her debut EP.
