Grace Inspace has shared new single “Blurry” (ft. JDM Global), the final single from her new EP Heavy Hair, out this Friday, February 27th, via TODO Records. The track features JDM Global, who plays in the band Shelly with Clairo, Claud, and Noa Getzug. The sunkissed, effervescent track is a love song through-and-through. Featuring swung drums, summery melodies, and soaring hooks, “Blurry” is an undeniable earworm.
“I always swore I wouldn’t write a love song,” she explains. “My earlier experiences had taught me that romance usually came with frayed nerves and tears – and I couldn’t imagine wanting to tell that story over and over. Then I met my current partner, and suddenly all I wanted to write were soft, happy love songs. I’d found a relationship that felt peaceful, effortless, and safe. In a kismet way, while I was falling in love, so were all of my closest friends. Our staunchly single group had all gone sappy – love was now impossible to ignore. ‘Blurry’ was born from those heady first moments of meeting someone you instantly click with, when the world blurs at the edges and they pull sharply into focus. Josh Mehling – one of those friends who’d fallen head over heels alongside me – sent me the track, and I wrote all the lyrics on the drive to his studio, looping that infectious hook over and over. I knew he had to sing on it too, because this love story was all of ours.”
EP singles “Helium Balloon,” “Emergency Contact,” “Meteor” (feat. Luna Li), and “Unrivaled,” have earned praise from The Line of Best Fit, Brooklyn Vegan, FLOOD, Clash, DORK, Wonderland, Chorus.fm, The Luna Collective, Ones To Watch, Reverie Magazine, Good Call Music, The Daily Music Report, FEMMUSIC, Buzzbands.la, and more. The tracks have also earned Spotify playlisting on New Music Friday UK, All New Indie, Indie Pop, in addition to editorial playlisting from KEXP, NME, Nina Protocol, 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.
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.

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.
