Grace Carter took the industry by storm earlier this year with her breathtaking debut: ‘Silence’. Now the young R&B singer who hails from Brighton is back with her sophomore single ‘Ashes’. It’s a star-studded affair, with producer credits coming from Mike Dean, whose cuts include Kanye, Frank Ocean and Beyoncé, and the track takes its inspiration from the feeling of being trapped in a difficult relationship. Inspired by a 90s lo-fi aesthetic, Carter has also delivered a gorgeous video to accompany ‘Ashes’ which gives an intimate and natural portrayal of an artist on the brink of something very special. Carter plays at The Lexington in January and The Great Escape Festival 2018 in May next year. -HM
