During the COVID-19 pandemic, Graace devoted a lot of her time to a variety of long-distance collaborations. One of the most impressive tracks to come from these sessions was her new single, ‘Body Language’. Fat bass synth sounds explode through the texture in the opening seconds, with Graace’s delicate, impressive voice moving with dexterity between lower melodies up to shimmering falsettos. Her time traveling through Thailand was an inspiration on her writing: “One night I’ll never forget was whilst riding home and needing to stop for a break somewhere, only to then realise we were at a Buddhist temple. We were greeted with traditional robes and after making two friends, they later taught us a beautiful prayer to Buddha which was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. They were so kind & inviting and solely communicated with me through body language as we didn’t speak the same language.” She manages to keep the catchy essence of pop and its luscious melodies at the centre of her writing, while foregoing typical four-bar phrasing to allow less predictable rhythms to shine through. It might only be her second release of 2020, but it may well be her best track yet. - Dan Peeke
