GRACE GILLESPIE HOPPERS

Originally from Devon, songwriter, producer and vocalist Grace Gillespie has shared a novel sample of her forthcoming new EP. Firmly folk-inspired, 'Hoppers' is simple, beautiful and pure. Cradled by carefully picked acoustic guitar, subtle Wurlitzer sounds swell beneath Gillespie's characterful vocals, which sound all the sweeter as she delivers the endearing line 'You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly'. Intended to capture the contrast between the frantic energy of life against the stillness of death, 'Hoppers' use of natural imagery serves as a powerful metaphor for the fragile nature of mortality.
