Grace Inspace today has shared her new single "Helium Balloon," the latest preview of her new EP Heavy Hair, out February 27th via TODO Records. The gentle, blissful track follows singles "Emergency Contact," "Meteor" (feat. Luna Li), and "Unrivaled," which have earned praise from FLOOD, Chorus.fm, The Luna Collective, Ones To Watch, Reverie Magazine, Good Call Music, The Daily Music Report, FEMMUSIC, Buzzbands.la, and more. Her 2023 EP Sunshine Kid was featured in a Celine ad and earned praise from FLOOD, Clash, The FADER, Coup De Main, and others.

"'Helium Balloon' is about the quiet collisions of emotion that make up the human experience," she says. "It’s loneliness in a crowded room, and the bittersweet hush that settles after a party ends. The image of a single balloon, an object designed to signal joy, drooping in the corner, became the perfect metaphor for that strange, tender space where happiness and sadness coexist. There’s a particular kind of melancholy in wilted decorations: glitter gone dull, streamers slumped, bright colors washed out in the morning light. That’s the feeling the song lives inside - fragile, reflective, and unexpectedly moving. I wrote it with my acoustic guitar and vocal loop pedal and then took it to the duo Mulherin for production."

Heavy Hair is Grace's best and most personal work to date, a solidifying statement from the rising young songwriter.  Each song on the record unearths a side of herself that had been buried or forgotten, forming an introspective journey threaded with both pain and joy. The EP was created alongside her closest friends–virtuosic talent Luna Li, Josh Mehling (of Shelly), and twin brothers Mulherin. 

Bringing together their diverse sensibilities resulted in a sound both lush and raw: classic pop grandeur fused with indie grit and the warmth of live instrumentation. At its heart, Heavy Hair is a world of storytelling — equal parts fantasy and satire — where Grace Inspace slips into many different characters, yet always returns to the most honest version of herself.

"Helium Balloon" by Grace Inspace is out today via TODO.

Grace Inspace Bio:

Grace Inspace Garner has always lived a nomadic life. LA-born and London-bred, she grew up bouncing between places with her itinerant, artist parents. True to her wanderlust spirit, much of her writing happens in an Airstream by the riverbanks of the Jedediah Smith Redwoods in Northern California, where she once spent years among weed farmers, forest rangers, and black bears. The title track of Grace’s last EP Sunshine Kid was featured in a global Celine campaign, and her music has been spotlighted by leading outlets including Clash, The Fader, and Coup De Main.

Her new EP, Heavy Hair, is her most personal work to date. The title comes from a childhood self-portrait she drew of a girl bent under the weight of her own hair — “I told my mum I drew it because my hair felt too heavy with all my thoughts and emotions,” Grace recalls. Each song on the record unearths a side of herself that had been buried or forgotten, forming an introspective journey threaded with both pain and joy.

What makes Heavy Hair even more intimate is the way it was created — with her closest friends. The EP was shaped alongside virtuosic talent Luna Li, Josh Mehling (of Shelly), and twin brothers Mulherin. Parker Mulherin, her partner, not only collaborated on the project but also inspired several of its tracks — the first love songs Grace has ever written.

Bringing together their diverse sensibilities resulted in a sound both lush and raw: classic pop grandeur fused with indie grit and the warmth of live instrumentation. At its heart, Heavy Hair is a world of storytelling — equal parts fantasy and satire — where Grace Inspace slips into many different characters, yet always returns to the most honest version of herself.
