I enjoyed the natural and very age appropriate fell of this piece. I’m also happy to have been introduced to Grace this early in her carrier, and I’m eager to see how she develops in the future.

Grace was 13 for this recording. She writes her own songs. After watching her win America's Got Talent not too long before this was released, I was surprised at the growth and maturation of the little girl with the ukulele. She's completely unique, definitely not mainstream, it will be interesting to see if popular music has a place for her adult talent. Thanks, Amy!

Pleasantly surprised! The music wasn't overproduced and autotuned like most of today's music. Guitar work sound like 1970s Fleetwood Mac.

Grace has a lot of control over her music and is at the studio when her music is being produced. Grace does not autotune at all. If you watch any of her videos on the internet, she wears everything on her sleeve, even her voice.

Taylor Swift now has a stable of music writers and fits many of her song lyrics into them. Let's hope Grace remains more original.

Good review Amy. But even at my old age, I find that I can relate to the song with things that have happened in my life that have pointed me down a dark road that sometimes begs one to follow. Grace won AGT 2016, when she was 12, the youngest to win at the time and the first and only to win with 4 original songs. She headlined four sold-out concerts in the PH Showroom at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino as part of her win. They had to add a show for the first time because of demands. "Beautiful Thing" a song that she wrote for her sister was her second song for AGT. A song used by Windex for a commercial and also use by some couples for their first wedding dance as Husband and Wife. She has been in 3 movies. Stargirl, Stargirl Hollywood, and Megalopolis. Each movie has at least one song that she wrote and sung in it. Hideaway (from "Wonder Park"), that she did not write but fits her style. Two songs in Next Gen, one Grace wrote and another she wrote the bridge for, "Clearly". The list is long for someone so young. She is also a Model. P.S. Her father Dave, was so proud of this song of hers, her being so young when she wrote it.

"VanderWaal has written 130 songs, including "I Don't Know My Name", "Moonlight", and "Beautiful Thing". "I Don't Know My Name" is her most popular song." The song Clearly, was written by about 5 song writers, and they had a problem with the bridge, and they came to a 14 year old for help and then gave the song to her. She has no need for a stable of music writers. :)

Can someone try to turn what I am saying into understandable words? It seems to me that every generation of music has similar sounding voices. If I listen to any voices from say the last dozen years or so there is a certain voice or 2. One is like Billie Eilish, a sound barely heard and the other like Carly Rae Jepsen, which has a very specific sound. Is that true for all generations? I never noticed it much before but lately I have. It is like t hey are trying to all sound alike. Is this what happens to ears when we age? Am I being the woman shouting "GET OFF MY LAWN"? I do not mean to be. It is just my observation. Does anyone know what I am trying to say? Please?

You're reading the Diary of a 12-year-old girl it's inappropriate to try and make sense of it. This was recorded 2016

My first time hearing Grace, and I really enjoyed this one a lot, both musically (even though it is just a light musical accompaniment) and in her unique vocals which blend very well with the music. Also very lyrically interesting. In fact, for being a teenage girl, I can relate to her lyrics far more than in Taylor Swift's music, which for me are very young female centric in their viewpoint (nothing wrong with that, just not who I am😉). Like you I would really to see how her vocals develop, although I really like them as they currently are. They were very expressive to me.

Grace wrote this during her studio recording sessions for her music. Grace has been know to write songs in around 30 minutes. Grace wrote the song below on a break when filming Stargirl. The director read the song and ask Grace if she could use it in the movie, which she did. My favorite love song.
