Interview with Hollywood Reporter

Hollywood Reporter article

An interview with The Hollywood Reporter for the “person of Interest” series, done on Sep 26, was published this day. In the interview, Grace talked about her next album, about what has previously restricted her artistically, and about her part in Megalopolis On next album Grace explained that her next album would be ”heavy”<7i> but an accurate look at what she’s going through at the moment. “There isn’t really a resolution to the album because it is a freeze in time of what I’m mentally going through right now. … I thought that that is impactful and artistic because it is so real, and it is kind of dark, but reality doesn’t have a resolution. … Sometimes you go through things and there is no grand meaning or lesson that you got from it. You just went through it and now you got to just carry that with you.”
“It was really intentional [to release What’s Left of Me” as one of ghe first singles]. When I came to Pulse Records with an album, a world, and a concept, we were just like, How can I lead people into this in a way that I feel most comfortable and confident in? I don’t want the project to be shock value, and I don’t want it to be discredited as that. It was really important for us to slowly integrate my new project into the music that people know and what I do.” On what has restricted her artistically Q: Have you felt that you’ve been put into a box musically because of where you got your start? “Yes, but only by myself. I think that we end up telling ourselves that people like us for one thing and kind of limiting ourselves probably more than any other outsider would. So, I did feel pressured and boxed in, but very much because of my own spiral of what I thought was going on.” On Megaloppolis and her part as Vesta ”The experience on the set and making my portion of it was really creative, and it was very collaborative. I definitely felt like I was able to make everything my own. It was very free in that aspect. Going into it, I feelt like I tend to not process things, so I think I was just like… It was very much not real yet. And maybe that’s a good thing because it doesn’t let me psych myself out. I just kind of carelessly go into things. … A lot drew me to Vesta. … I liked the virginal aspect being translated into modern times. I thought that it was a crystal clear commentary on very conservative pop stars that we have today. … I liked the purity culture aspect very, very much.”
