2022 Glastonbury emerging artist Raelle releases her next single ‘Grace’ with Paul Bridgewater from Line of Best Fit calling the track “So understated and yet complex at the same time”. Written between London and Berlin with Gabriel Gifford, Raelle moves away from her traditional neo-soul roots to embrace a darker, richer and more nuanced sound. Blending neo and symphonic soul influences with a more up-tempo beat, Raelle takes you on a journey of finding herself again after the torment and depression of a broken relationship, as she calls for someone or something to help her. The song starts with a melancholic swell of a live string quartet, before the catchy drum soon accompanied by the rich vibrations of the bass kick in. Raelle’s haunting vocals and draw you in, as she tales a story of losing herself to depression. Featuring live recorded strings, the song takes you on a journey of understanding ones own self-identity, exploring the complex dynamics between love, loss and hate, and sinking back into the dark that is depression and losing a sense of who you are, before calling on ‘Grace’ to help navigate your way back.

When speaking about Grace Raelle says that “Grace is a metaphor for calling on a higher power whether that be something inside yourself, or something else to help you get out of this dark place. This song is a cry for help, and explores feelings that come with depression such as the feeling that you are sinking as life overwhelms you, as well as the feelings of love and hate that linger after the breakdown of a relationship that can send your head spiralling. This song represents a feeling that many of us know well but may not be able to put into words, it represents the want and the will to carry on, but not quite knowing how. It represents the loneliness and isolation that comes with depression, and recognising that at the end of the day, the only person who is coming to save you is you”
