‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

You have to support the artists that inspire you. Their art, their time, and the love for the things they create shouldn’t be overlooked simply because things feels oversaturated. Magical things happen when you pay attention to the attitude and demeanor of an artist. They share a little piece of themselves with the rest of the world and when they have an important story to tell, it can change you forever.

For us, that artist is TRACE. It’s always admirable when an artist overcomes hardships and various hurdles that present themselves while navigating the music industry. But TRACE is one of the rare voices that not only demands your attention.. but has fully earned it. With her latest release, titled ‘Cool Woman’, we experience just that. Her can do attitude on top of gorgeous visuals and heightened creativity, it’s everything we love about discovering new music.

Take the time to really enjoy this and you won’t be disappointed. There’s something we can all learn from an artist like this, guaranteed. Don’t forget to connect with TRACE online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases / projects and enjoy!
