Done trying to be Miss Perfect! This song is inspired by a big shift I made in my life over the past 5 years, learning to love and accept myself, figuring out what I really want, and coming at it from a good place instead of a place of stress and insecurity (i.e., being fueled by a negative vision of myself).

"Alone In My Dreams" is a dreamy, cinematic indie pop track inspired by Nolo Grace's recurring dreams of being lost in huge complexes and escaping from shadowy figures. With spiritual undertones, her lyrics weave a mythological journey through the complexities of life. Produced by Martin Wave (Steve Aoki, ALOK, Post Malone), the music creates a mesmerizing atmosphere, capturing the essence of falling down the rabbit hole, getting lost, and ultimately finding one's way.

Alone in My Dreams

Experience Nolo Grace's evolution in Love Is Worth It All, the second single off her forthcoming album Eyes of the Dragon. From love's painful depths to self-love's empowering heights, this anthemic electronic pop ballad explores the journey from loving others to loving oneself. Produced by Martin Wave (Steve Aoki, Post Malone), the track is filled with dynamic instrumentation including piano, synths, and drums. Nolo Grace's poignant lyrics showcase a testament to growth and resilience, and love's transformative power.

Love Is Worth It All

"Mother" is more than just a song; it's a cathartic expression of Nolo Grace's own turbulent upbringing. Drawing from her experiences growing up with a mother afflicted by mental illness, including schizophrenia, and enduring abuse from her, Nolo Grace delves courageously into the depths of her past. Through her lyrics she confronts the pain and anger that had haunted her, leading her to embark on a transformative journey of healing and spiritual discovery towards forgiveness.
Beyond her personal narrative, "Mother" sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of domestic violence within the Korean community, sparking important conversations and fostering empathy and understanding. Nolo Grace's hope is that through this song, individuals grappling with challenging relationships with their parents will find solace and validation, knowing that they are not alone in their struggles. The single is a testament to the power of music to heal, inspire, and unite us in our shared humanity, offering a lifeline of empathy and understanding to those who have endured similar trials.

Grace & Moji defy convention with their take on the timeless classic, "Stand By Me", originally performed by Ben E. King. Inspired
by the art of reimagining older classics, the husband-wife duo breathe new life into this iconic track, infusing it with a fresh and modern indie singer/songwriter vibe. "Stand By Me" has long been a staple in the musical lexicon, but in a world saturated with covers, Grace & Moji stand out by infusing this universally beloved
song with their own own unique style and sensibility. Drawing from their own relationship, Grace & Moji's cover of "Stand By Me" takes on a whole new dimension, instilling the lyrics with a sense of intimacy and vulnerability through the addition of an original bridge and harmonies. This modern twist not only breathes new life into the melody but also amplifies the timeless message of unity
and support that lies at the heart of "Stand By Me."

With a production that's rich in both guitar and synths, they transport "Stand By Me" into uncharted territory, blurring the lines between past and present with effortless grace. Their approach to recording was driven by a desire to carve out their own unique niche in the musical landscape—to create a version of the song
that resonates deeply with their own experiences and perspectives.

Inspired by a message to myself to be patient while I was combatting some negative feelings, made during quarantine. It's the first beat I've shared publicly (woooo)...but not the last!

Lyrics
What I've done for love
Overwhelms my senses
Addicted to a feeling
Losing all perspective
Always found myself
In endless repetition
Always catering to
Someone else's mission

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

Tryin' to be Miss Perfect
Wasn't really worth it
Found myself unearthing
What I was already deserving
Tryin' to be Miss Perfect
Wasn't really worth it
Found my own perfection
In accepting my reflection

Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect

Climbing Wall Street
Crushed by all the pressure
Trade the present
For a promise in the future
Always found myself
In endless repetition
Always catering to
Someone else's mission

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

Tryin' to be Miss Perfect
Wasn't really worth it
Found myself unearthing
What I was already deserving
Tryin' to be Miss Perfect
Wasn't really worth it
Found my own perfection
In accepting my reflection

Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect

I tried, I tried, I tried too long (too long)
I'm moving on, I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
I chased this idea for too long (too long)
It's time, I'm free, I'm moving on (I'm moving on)

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

I lost myself
Couldn't see myself
Always living for
Somebody else

Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Done tryin' to be (trying to be)
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect
Miss Perfect
