(New York –October 7, 2015)  Australia’s pop-soul newcomer Grace premieres the video for “Dirty Harry,” a track full of youthful swagger http://smarturl.it/DirtyHarryVid. With an addictive beat that straddles contemporary hip-hop and vintage soul, Grace is able to showcase her powerhouse vocals as she shares the familiar story of a carefree adolescence.

 

Grace tells The FADER, “As a teenager, you're constantly trying to find your feet. That's what 'Dirty Harry' is about. Living in the moment and being young, dumb and reckless. We wanted to emulate that energy in the video so we shot it in a big empty warehouse in Brooklyn, and I just danced and mucked about and had fun."

 

Grace released her debut EP, Memo, on May 26th via Regime Music Societe/RCýA Records. It is filled with original songs that highlight her influences, which range from Gladys Knight to Amy Winehouse. Grace co-wrote all of the EP’s five songs, including the title track when she was only 16 and recording it on her iPhone.

The EP’s first single, “You Don’t Own Me” featuring G-Eazy topped the charts at #1 in Australia where it is certified 3x platinum. A cover of Lesley Gore’s 1963 anthem, the track was co-produced by its original producer, the legendary Quincy Jones, and also Parker Ighile (Nicki Minaj). On October 1st, she performed it live on The Late Late Show with James Corden (view).

About Grace: Eighteen-year-old Grace is one of the hottest pop-soul prospects this year. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia with UK roots, Grace grew up where the sounds of Smokey Robinson to Janis Joplin, and Shirley Bassey to Amy Winehouse, filled her home and fueled her soul. With a strong musical heritage (her grandparents toured with the Gibb brothers), Grace has developed a raw, throaty, soulful sound whose emotional timbre belies her tender years. It’s easy to understand how that style was developed when she name-checks her biggest influences as Shirley Bassey, Minnie Riperton, Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Michael Jackson just to name a few.
