Grace Turner Releases Beautiful New Single, “Half Light”

Inspiration can strike in the strangest of places. For Newcastle’s Grace Turner, the Hunter Valley Gardens provided unexpected creative fuel. She wrote her latest single “Half Light” while walking around the regional NSW attraction with her family.

The song is deceptively simple, using just a single chord and exploration of the word “half.” But it’s so much more than that, something beautiful, ethereal, and emotional. Grace says the song explores “the dualities we have within ourselves and the many potentially conflicting parts of the personalities we live with. It also explores the world of half-truths we live within as a society. I am constantly questioning the world around me and how I fit into it and what makes me who I am.”

While the song came together in a moment, its recording was more fractured. She started laying it down at Melbourne’s Sound Park Studios, then moved to a Hunter Valley tractor shed, then to her drummer’s bedroom studio. Yet somehow it all comes together in this stunning, cohesive piece.

“Half Light” comes from Grace’s debut EP Half Truths, which drops on August 7.
