Artists to Watch in 2016: Grace Acladna
With her jazz tinged vocals and brooding electronics, Grace Acladna produces a distinctively unique kind of sound, one to definitely look out for in 2016.
In the infinitely growing sea of talent, it is always hard selecting acts for our artists to watch feature, but GRACE ACLADNA is on our list. This is not solely for her distinctively captivating soul tinged vocals, but for her music as a whole.
At just 22 years old, Grace not only writes all her own music, but designs the artwork and directs her own videos. Her music and everything that comes with it hasn't been diluted from its original meaning or intention, it's a projection of Grace in its purity.
Utilising her diverse musical heritage, she works together a cacophony of sounds, primarily electronic but with elements of nu soul and jazz along with her soothing vocals. She has the ability to grip you from the outset with a simple yet commanding backdrop which resonates throughout, whilst still leaving room to build and intensify. Her latest track 'London' does exactly this, and with such finesse, subtly weaving in glitchy electronics and shuffling percussion to bring to a swirling climax.
