ESNS:
2019
Swedish artist GRANT debuted late 2017 with the single Waterline and released her critically acclaimed debut album In Bloom in June 2018. High profile UK music site The Line of Best Fit gave the album a glorious 9 of 10 reviews saying "As introductions go, its rawness and honesty surpass pretty much anything you’ll have heard before; its blistering surge into a final triumphant chorus always primed and ready to take your breath away no matter how many times you hit repeat.There’s a certain mesmerising quality to her first full-length LP, with her captivating vocals, the 24-year-old delivers every lyric with both a larger-than-life urgency and uncompromising intimacy, drawing the listener into her private universe. Set against a backdrop of sumptuously textured alt-pop, In Bloom finds GRANT wholly embodying whatever mood she’s conjuring: lovestruck, vengeful, heavy-hearted, triumphant. 2018 have been a massive debut year for the young Swede with several TV-performances (she tored the house down at Swedish Grammy Awards in February), summer festivals, a headline tour, a support tour with pop star Tove Styrke and two nominations for national radio P3 Gold Awards + one Swedish Grammy Awards nomination.
