Why hello there.
I'm writing from my childhood bedroom in Hoboken, NJ (no I still haven't gone to wawa and that needs to change). I haven't written on here in a while and I've really missed it.
If I'm being honest, I haven't been in the best place mentally. For the past year I have been trying to find a new producer for the next project and I tried songs over and over and over only to feel they weren't good enough for myself or for you. My tone now is pretty light but truly it was one of the most helpless moments of my life. I want to stand undoubtedly behind everything I put out, and when I don't feel like my vision is being executed it makes me break down (I used to cry when I colored outside of the lines if that gives you any idea of what it's like in my brain). I think I was scared to show this part of the process with people because I didn't think they would want to hear about the negative parts of my life, especially when from the outside everything probably seems great.
I am happy to say that I am so inspired by the music I am making now and you will get to hear it very soon. AND I am way happier. Getting out of LA and being with my family and friends here is important for me. I feel like a person again.
I've been writing new songs, reading ("Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, it's raunchy but I really like it), feeling like a fan of music again, a fan of life really. And I've been going around and trying a bunch of new food like this Korean place Kisa (10/10 go here if you're in New York) and these slushies at A & N Fruit Store (also a 10/10 I got the green apple flavor) with my friend Mia.
OH we also went to the Whitney and saw their bicentennial exhibit which was pretty graphic I won't lie but it compared how marginalized groups have been dehumanized and how AI will also strip of us of our humanity and what that means for art and art from women, POC, etc. I went to a few gallery openings as well this week but I don't really know what any of the art was about (I was more interested in the free wine and the people watching).
Anyways, back to the music. The songs that I'm getting ready to put out are the most personal yet and while that's extremely scary for me, it also is exciting. Like running into someone you never wanted to see again on the street. That's what it feels like kind of. Or your mom reading your diary. idk.
I think that's all I have for you for now. Thanks for sticking with me and being patient. We'll talk soon.
Love,
Grace
