The self-titled Isaac Gracie album is released through Virgin EMI. It was largely produced by Markus Dravs at RAK Studios in London and features eleven tracks including the recent singles Terrified and The Death of You and I. Isaac Gracie has been finding his feet and working out who he is and discovering what he wants since the industry spotlight fell on him. The fuss was caused by a dusty-sounding, careworn home recording of Last Words that was uploaded online without expectation and any anticipation of what might follow. The voice behind it was completely new to the premise of where writing a great song might lead him. Even now he’d tell you that he’s still slowly working it all out, but this debut collection sounds as fully-realised and confident as any of recent memory. Isaac Gracie is a new British voice, A singer songwriter poetic in his placement of words and accomplished in their delivery.

When Isaac Gracie rose to fame in late 2015, we were fittingly floored by his stunning vocals and his intimate songwriting. By doing so little, Gracie often showed so much of his life. It was heart-wrenching stuff. Known for his heart wrenching song writing that gives you an immediate intrusion into his life, Isaac Gracie has released what could possibly be the boldest track he’s ever recorded.

He’s just released ‘The Death of You & I’, the room-shaking rock monster and the first from his upcoming EP of the same name. Opening with a romantic western guitar sequence and continuing the underlying romantic European twang throughout, there’s an immediate change in his compilation, Gracie’s voice is as delicate and soft as it always is before erupting into an outburst of frustration, straining over the heaviest drums and guitars he’s ever incorporated into his music.

Gracie’s vocals explodes in a soaring and ambitious chorus – like sticking a firework in a bin and watching the chaos proceed. The upcoming EP also features a collaboration with one of Britain’s best young producers – Mura Masa. An unexpected team-up, but one that will no doubt provide fruitful results.
‘Silhouettes of You’ is taken from Isaac Gracie’s forthcoming EP The Death of You &I, released on 29th September.

If you’re into Jeff Buckley and Willy Mason, then look no further than Isaac Gracie. His forlorn, lo-fi tearjerker ‘Last Words’ sounds like a sadder, more blues-obsessed Jake Bugg and has racked up 65,000 SoundCloud plays despite little label help.
Every now and then a song just cuts through. Isaac Gracie’s ‘Last Words’ is a case in point.

Your name is Isaac Gracie and you suddenly have something very special on your hands.  Isaac Gracie. His beautiful, dreamy, rusty vocal and acoustic guitar sound will have you hypnotised and leave you with a warm and safe feeling. Music is supposed to be emotive, and his songs evoke emotion tenfold. His style of music has a country vibe and his vocal has a depth and maturity far beyond his 21 years. Gracie sings from a place of experience and knowing, and perfectly captures the deep emotion behind his lyrics. “We’re So Very Lost” is a political song about the sad state of humanity today which really rings true to today’s society. “I Couldn’t See You” fits with the country vibe and Isaac’s dreamy vocals have your full attention, and of course “Last Words” – the song that has launched his career. You can make your own mind up about that one.

‘Last Words’ has been quietly doing the rounds on Soundcloud for the past few months, but in the last few days things have blown up somewhat. The 21-year-old Ealing newcomer’s debut London headline show sold out on Monday – it was packed with industry heads – and a day later Zane Lowe made it his World Record on Beats 1. Isaac’s still so new he doesn’t even have a proper press shot yet (the image above was taken at that London gig), so get in on the act early.
