Grace Carter - Wicked Game

LCM Song Of The Day - ‘Wicked Game’ - Grace Carter

Our featured song today is a great atmospheric cover of Chris Isaak’s 1991 hit ‘Wicked Game’ by fast rising London based UK singer-songwriter Grace Carter.

Grace grew up in Brighton listening to the likes of Lauryn Hill and Nina Simone, which is evident in her powerful songwriting, which shows emotional and musical maturity. She began songwriting during her school days, and at the age of fourteen was already performing her own material in public. One year later, Grace had converted her bedroom into a makeshift recording studio and when she reached Music College she taught herself the piano by watching YouTube videos.

Grace rose to prominence after supporting Dua Lipa on tour during The Self-Titled Tour in October 2017, and has additionally been a supporting act for other performers including Rag'n'Bone Man. In 2018-19, she headlined two tours of the UK and Europe. Gracer placed third in BBC Music's "Sound of 2019" poll of industry experts and artists. She is the step-daughter of singer-songwriter and former Music Week journalist Paul Phillips.
