WHAT IT IS: Writing lyrics as a message to the younger version of herself and other women about self-acceptance, Grace Sewel, aka SAYGRACE, is the embodiment of female empowerment. Her latest single, “Boys Ain’t Sh*t” f/Tate McRae and Audrey Mika, portrays just that—serving as an anthem for all women. Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, with U.K. roots, Grace grew up with the sounds of Smokey Robinson, Janis Joplin, Shirley Bassey and Amy Winehouse. The songstress, who made a big splash with her single, “You Don’t Own Me” f/G-Eazy in 2015, has a raw, throaty, soulful sound, whose emotional timbre belies her tender years. Set to make music that tells girls they don’t have to have it all figured out, her EP, The Defining Moments of SAYGRACE: Girlhood, F*ckboys & Situationships, is her manifesto.
