British singer/songwriter Isaac Gracie made waves in 2015 with "Last Words," a moody lo-fi acoustic track that recalled elements of Jeff Buckley's dark-toned folk-rock. A native of Ealing, West London, Gracie showed musical promise from a young age, singing in Ealing Abbey Choir and writing his first songs at 14. His home-recorded debut EP, Songs from My Bedroom, created enough buzz to land him a deal with Virgin EMI, which began issuing subsequent singles like "All the Burning Lovers" and "Reverie." After the live Songs in Black and White EP in late 2016, Gracie delivered his follow-up studio EP, The Death of You & I, in 2017. Later that year he got to work writing and recording his debut full-length with producer Markus Dravs (Florence + the Machine, Coldplay). The eponymous album arrived in April 2018 with a nationwide tour in support. ~ Timothy Monger
