SINGLE REVIEW: GRAACE – Last Night
After dazzling a packed crowd on the final night of BigSound, GRAACE has released her brand new single which allows listeners to hear a different side to the songstress. ‘Last Night’ is a stripped back and emotionally driven ballad which steers away from the playful sound ‘Kissing Boys’ delivered.
